Warning
It is possible for a respondent to belong to more than one quota. If they belong to any quota where currently_open=0, they will be terminated for improper targeting.

HEADER

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
access-token	String	Yes	Token used to identify the authenticity of the user.

Warning
Note: If there are no quotas or qualifications in the survey, then the Response will return the default quota for age 18-99:

Info
We will be releasing new functionality for “Guaranteed Allocations” that will help supplier’s understand if some portion of completes are guaranteed (exclusive) to the supplier. Find documentation here: Guaranteed Allocations

RESPONSE PARAMETERS

Qualifications:

Parameter	Type	Description
survey_id	Number	This is the PureSpectrum survey ID
survey_status	Number	Indicates the Survey's current status. 11 for draft, 22 for live, 33 for paused, 44 for closed
surveyLocalization	String	2 letter code for language, followed by underscore, followed by 2 letter code for country (according to ISO 3166). Only one localization per survey is allowed. (Apologies for the use of camelCase instead of snake_case for the Parameter key)
survey_performance	Object	Contains Overall & Last Block IR & LOI
overall	Object	This performance corresponds to IR & LOI since survey start
last_block	Object	This performance corresponds to IR & LOI in the last block
ir	integer (1-100)	This is the Incidence Rate of the performance period. Divide by 100 to get the percentage. E.G. 60% is returned as 60 by IR. IR is defined as Completes/(Completes+Buyer_Terminations+Buyer_Drop+Buyer_OverQuota)
loi	Integer (1-120)	This is the Median LOI of the performance period.
qualifications	Array of Objects	This array contains all qualification codes upon which certain condition codes are applied. If a qualification code is absent, PureSpectrum will not check this particular qualification for each respondent. A qualification's absence also means that no quota will be applied on that qualification code.
qualification_code	Number	Purespectrum code for the qualification.
condition_codes	Array of Strings	This array is part of the qualification hash, referring to it's preceding qualification_code. If more than one condition code is present, handle the additional condition codes as an OR operator. For example, if for race (qualification 214), condition codes "111","112","114" are present, the respondent may either be White, Hispanic, or Asian to qualify for the survey.
range_sets	Object	Contains the from, to, and units if the question type is "range"
from	Number	Specifies the starting point for the range
to	Number	Specifies the ending point for the range
units	Number	Specifies the unit type according to Quotas & Qualifications V2#units table found on the bottom of this page
quotas	Array	Array containing the quota objects of a survey. If no quotas have been specified by the buyer, then we will display a default quota for ages 18-99.
quota_id	String	This is the internal PureSpectrum ID for the quota.
criteria	Array	Contains the targeting criteria objects of an individual quota
quantities	Object	Contains completes needed, achieved, remaining, & open_quantity. open_quantity is the amount that indicates the number of completes currently available to be filled in this quota
currently_open	Number	Number of completes currently available in the quota. If the value is 0, any respondent matching this quota will be rejected.
achieved	Number	Quantity within this quota ID that your supply has completed
remaining	Number	Theoretical Number of completes remaining for your supply
crtd_on	UTC Timestamp in milliseconds since Unix Epoch	Timestamp of when this quota id was created (milliseconds since Unix Epoch)
mod_on	UTC Timestamp in milliseconds since Unix Epoch	Timestamp of when this quota id was last modified. This would only change if the quota is locked/unlocked, or the quantity is changed. If a quota's criteria are modified, this quota is closed and a new one is created. (milliseconds since Unix Epoch)
field_end_date	UTC Timestamp in milliseconds since Unix Epoch	Timestamp of when this survey is scheduled to end fielding. The survey may stay open past fielding at the buyer's discretion.
click_balancing	Boolean	Indicates whether the survey is click balancing or not. “1" for yes, “0" for no. When “click_balancing” = “1”, the survey is counting clicks rather than completes and the numbers shown in the API response are reflective the number of clicks needed, achieved, remaining, etc.
buyer_message	String	The buyer may choose to add a custom message to their survey. This message is present here, limited to 500 characters. If no message is present, this will display as the empty string ""
pii	bool	Indicates whether the survey requires PII. True for yes, False for no.
price_type	Number	NOTE: Not currently live on production and all responses will contain the same value This number indicates the pricing methodology used by the survey. 1-priced according to the rates you have provided via price card or formulas 2-priced according to preferred rate card negotiated with buyer 3-priced according to operator override //this is a price that has been manually modified by a PureSpectrum employee 4-programmatic direct //details to come 5-priced according to API response //details to come
buyer_id	Number	This is the buyer's company ID that will be useful in determining your performance with different buyers in the marketplace. If applicable, the buyer id will be displayed. In all other cases, the buyer id will be NULL.
survey_grouping	Object	If a respondent has previously taken any of these surveys, they will be excluded if that survey was taken in the exclusion_period. If there are no survey grouping id's present, this will return an empty object.
survey_ids	Array	If a respondent has previously taken any of these surveys, they will be excluded if that survey was taken in the exclusion_period.
exclusion_period	Number	This is the number of days for which a respondent is disqualified from taking another survey in the same survey group.
purescore	Number	0 indcates that a survey will accept any respondent, regardless of PureScore. 1 indicates that a survey will accept only respondents with a passing PureScore. If a respondent has ever failed with ps_rstatus=42, avoid sending them to surveys with PureScore = 1. See https://purespectrum.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PA/pages/33613201

Response Codes & Answers

Reference the API endpoint to view questions/qualifications for each country. To view different countries, change the localization code: http://api.spectrumsurveys.com/suppliers/v2/attributes?localization=en_US&format=true&page=1

Warning
In the US, if a survey is targeting on CBSA, MSA, or County, the api response will return a list of valid zipcodes instead of the specific codes.
