Get public

Reads a published form as its page draws it: the questions, the screens, the hidden values it takes, how it is answered and its theme.

Address	`https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/form/public/{id}`
Method	`GET`
Operation	`get_public_form`
Auth	`Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY`

Reads a published form as its page draws it: the questions, the screens, the hidden values it takes, how it is answered and its theme. Nothing about where its responses go. No credential is needed; a form that is private, deleted or never was is a 404.

var result = new FormApi(client).getPublicForm();

The method above is the one at the current release of the document. [email protected] (npm) and [email protected] (PyPI) were generated from an earlier release, where this operation carried a different id, so it spells the method differently — regenerating the clients is what makes the two agree.
