Troubleshooting

 Formbricks provides two APIs: the Public Client API for frontend survey interactions and the Management API for backend management tasks.

REST API

Here is how you can generate an API key which gives you full access to the Formbricks Management API. Keep it safe!

Generate API Key

Here is how you can test your API key to make sure it is working.

Test API Key

Update an existing response for example when you want to mark a response as finished or you want to change an existing response's value.

Update Response

Create a response for a survey and it's fields with the user's responses. The userId & meta here is optional

Create Response

Update a contact's attributes in Formbricks to keep them in sync with your app or when you want to set a custom attribute in Formbricks.

Update Contact (Attributes)

Retrieves a contact's state including their segments, displays, responses and other tracking information. If the contact doesn't exist, it will be created.

File metadata is provided via headers (X-File-Type, X-File-Name, X-Environment-ID, X-Signature, X-UUID, X-Timestamp) and the file is provided as a multipart/form-data file field named "file". The "Content-Type" header must be set to a valid MIME type.
