CUSTOMER CHOICE
Third-party accessibility
Private apps use an account access token. Applications accessing multiple accounts use OAuth authorization; public deployment requirements must be checked separately.
Confirm who can connect, who owns the credentials and which uses are permitted. Customer consent and provider approval can be separate requirements; the selected plan and contract still matter.
READ / INTEGRATE
API and export routes
Traverse bulk-response pages using page/per_page and the returned navigation links, subject to plan response limits. Bulk-response routes support date and response-status selection within each survey.
| Access route | Authentication | Credential owner | Provider approval | Access requirement | Last checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| v3 survey response collections and survey creation via an authorized application | oauth2 | Customer | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | 2026-10-22 |
Availability depends on your product, plan and agreement. See the documentation below for the requirements of each route.
ECONOMIC ACCESS
Cost, authentication and limits
Basic includes up to 25 detailed responses per survey. Unlimited response access requires a paid plan; extra request capacity can carry additional fees.
Check API entitlement, credential ownership and rate limits for the route you intend to use. Include review fees, customer-plan upgrades and ongoing access charges in the total.
ACT FROM OUTSIDE
External action
Create surveys through POST /surveys with the required write scope.
Validate the supported operation, acting identity and permission scope (read access does not imply write permission). Ambiguous retries and revoked credentials also affect whether an external workflow can run safely.
KEEP ACCESS USEFUL
Continuity
Repeat the assessed collection traversal to reconcile current state. Native change delivery and retained replay were not established in this review.

Useful ongoing access includes corrections and deletions, not only the first export. A failed request, changed filter or lost resource permission should not be interpreted as a deleted record.
LEAVE WITH YOUR DATA
Data exit and portability
Retain the assessed structured records before losing access. Attachments, historical versions, permissions and full product configuration need separate extraction.
Test the output against the destination’s required fields and history. Check stable identifiers, relationships, attachments and extraction time; a sample file proves only the coverage of that sample.
BUILD / INSPECT / REUSE
Business logic and customization
Customers can write external integration code. Native workflow rights and independent execution remain unresolved (record access does not establish portable application logic).
Custom API access, ownership of workflows and the right to export their definitions are separate questions. A custom-app capability alone does not establish that business rules can move to another system.
