Each is keyed by its external id (on a subscribe form, by its address), so a batch sent again, or an import resumed from any point, makes nothing twice. Each answer is read against its field as a submission's is; a required field may be unanswered. With file, each new response is also filed in the CRM at the time it was made; nothing is mailed and no webhook is told. An org admin only. ## Request 18 fields, body `application/json` (required). | Field | In | Type | Required | Description | | ------------------------------- | ---- | ---------------- | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `id` | path | string | yes | ID is the form's id or slug, from the path. | | `file` | body | boolean | — | File also files each new response in the CRM, at the time it was made. | | `id` | body | string | — | ID is the form's id or slug, from the path. | | `responses` | body | form.Imported\[] | — | Responses are the responses, at most 500. | | `responses[].answers` | body | form.Answer\[] | — | Answers are its answers, each read against the form's field as a submission's is; a required field may be unanswered. | | `responses[].answers[].boolean` | body | boolean | — | | | `responses[].answers[].choices` | body | string\[] | — | | | `responses[].answers[].date` | body | string | — | | | `responses[].answers[].field` | body | string | — | Field is the ref of the field answered. | | `responses[].answers[].number` | body | number (double) | — | | | `responses[].answers[].text` | body | string | — | | | `responses[].answers[].type` | body | string | — | Type is the field's type. | | `responses[].at` | body | string | — | At is when it was made, RFC 3339. | | `responses[].email` | body | string | — | Email is the address it was from, when the source knew one. | | `responses[].external` | body | string | — | External is its id where it was made: at most 200 characters, and the response's key, so importing it again is the same response. | | `responses[].hidden` | body | object | — | Hidden are values it carried, by the names the form declares. | | `responses[].hidden.*` | body | string | — | | | `responses[].source` | body | string | — | Source is where it was made, at most 100 characters: commerce, a list's name. | ## Response | Status | Body | Meaning | | --------- | --------------- | ------- | | `200` | form.Imports | ok | | `default` | problem-details | refused | `200` body — 5 fields. | Field | In | Type | Always | Description | | ------------------- | ---- | --------------------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `created` | body | integer (int64) | — | Created counts the responses made new. | | `existing` | body | integer (int64) | — | Existing counts the ones already held: imported before, or the same subscriber. | | `failed` | body | form.ImportFailure\[] | — | Failed are the ones refused, with why. | | `failed[].external` | body | string | — | | | `failed[].reason` | body | string | — | | Failure carries the platform error shape — see [Errors](https://docs.hanzo.ai/docs/errors). ## Examples **CLI** ```bash hanzo form forms import ``` **SDK** **.ts** ```ts import { Configuration, FormApi } from 'hanzoai'; const api = new FormApi(new Configuration({ accessToken: process.env.HANZO_API_KEY })); const { data } = await api.importFormResponses({ id: 'id', file: false, id: "" }); ``` **.py** ```python from hanzoai.cloud import ApiClient, Configuration from hanzoai.cloud.api import FormApi client = ApiClient(Configuration(access_token=os.environ["HANZO_API_KEY"])) result = FormApi(client).import_form_responses(id='id', file=False, id="") ``` **.go** ```go cfg := hanzoai.NewConfiguration() cfg.AddDefaultHeader("Authorization", "Bearer "+os.Getenv("HANZO_API_KEY")) client := hanzoai.NewAPIClient(cfg) resp, _, err := client.FormAPI.ImportFormResponses(context.Background()).Execute() if err != nil { return err } ``` **.rs** ```rust use hanzo_client::apis::{configuration::Configuration, form_api}; let mut cfg = Configuration::new(); cfg.bearer_access_token = std::env::var("HANZO_API_KEY").ok(); let result = form_api::import_form_responses(&cfg, Default::default()).await?; ``` **.java** ```java import ai.hanzo.cloud.ApiClient; import ai.hanzo.cloud.api.FormApi; ApiClient client = new ApiClient(); client.setBearerToken(System.getenv("HANZO_API_KEY")); var result = new FormApi(client).importFormResponses(); ``` The method above is the one at the current release of the document. `hanzoai@8.5.914` (npm) and `hanzoai@8.5.914` (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.
