Is there a simple way to find your FormID?

Hi all,

I keep getting stuck when trying to find the FormID. Previously I have only been able to find it when I am in OpenFN looking at the raw data coming in. Anyone have any tips? I have also tried defining it within the XLSForm Builder but have, as of yet, had no luck.

Hi,

There are multiple ways to get formID. One approach I use is using R-script to download the list of forms (form id, title, url for data download) in kobo account.

Another approach is to explore the forms or assets information using API endpoints. For example,

https://kc.humanitarianresponse.info/api/v1/data or as explained in http://help.kobotoolbox.org/managing-your-project-s-data/rest-services

Best regards,

Punya

Hi @rahhal
Unfortunately, we are not really able to help you in terms of identifying which form ID is it that you need. We highly recommend that users define their own naming convention for their projects to avoid such kinds of scenarios. I wish you all the best in your process.
