Validating submitted records via API

[raffy_m]

Is it possible to validate submitted entries using an API?

What i have in mind is this:

1. Submitted records are downloaded to a local /remote computer
2. Downloaded records are reviewed and edited
3. For records that do not not need editing, just set Validation status to Approved using API
4. For records that were edited using the local computer, the matching record in the server is updated via API. Afterwards, the Validation status for that records is set to Approved
5. Update validation status for records that need to be On Hold or Marked for Removal as the case may be using API

Updating Records via the API

@palmernet After discussing with @jnm and based on our recent discussion I can confirm that it is in fact already possible to do these batch updates via the API, using the endpoint http://kc.kobotoolbox.org/api/v1/submissions. This is the same endpoint used to submit new records. As per OpenRosa, the POST request needs to specify the original UUID as well as a newly generated UUID to identify the edited version. An edit should therefore have <deprecatedID>my-old-submission-id</deprecatedID> and…

Thanks. How about updating the validation status of a submitted record via API either making the status “On Hold”, “Approved”, or “Flagged for Removal”. Is it possible to do this using API?
