Introduction

LimeSurvey REST API v1 is available in LimeSurvey init_version or more recent which offers various API endpoints.

Setup

How to configure

In order to use LS REST API you must first enable the service, and then adjust the settings to suit your needs. To enable login to the LimeSurvey administration, go to Global settings, choose the tab 'Interfaces' and select 'Publish API on /rest'.

Security

The REST API uses the same security measures as the normal administration login. That means that the permission set of the used username and password is the same as if you would login in the administration with that user/password. Also the REST API is protected against brute-force password cracking - like the normal administration login.

How to

The REST API URL is http://www.yourdomain.com/rest/v1 .
