SurveyMonkey API get_survey_details

Question

Why is get_survey_details response returning this error msg?

When running a request via the SurveyMonkey API for the get_survey_details method

https://api.surveymonkey.net/v2/surveys/get_survey_details

The response is:

{"status":3,"errmsg":"Survey requested 'xxxxxxx' has more than 200 pages" }

This is a custom app, using the API key and token generated in the API console. My user has the Gold plan.

The online guide for the api indicates a limit (any plan level) of 1000 questions and 1000 pages. https://developer.surveymonkey.com/mashery/limits

Any help is appreciated

Answer 1

The max page size limit is used for pagination. It represents the maximum number of resource items that can be returned for a page. For example, you can only fetch a maximum of 1000 surveys from /v2/surveys/get_survey_list per call.

I've updated the docs to provide a bit more clarity.

Answer 2

There is a limit on the number of pages a survey can have in order to be serviceable by SurveyMonkey's API. 200 is the hard limit currently configured.

That limit is documented here as, "1000 questions or 200 pages, surveys over limit will not be returned"
