Form Creation through API

Is it possible to create a form through the API form endpoint by posting a json representation of the form? If so, does anyone have a good example?

Thanks,
Eric

Hi Eric,
There is currently a convoluted way to do this that involves POSTing a draft in the beta tool and then publishing the draft to the Kobocat API. We are currently working on a way to create surveys from a JSON representation directly into kobocat, but it won’t be deployed to the public sites until later this month. Are you working off of a local installation where you can check out a specific branch?

Hi Alex,

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I’m working from a local server. Which branch should I check out.

Thanks,
