In the interest of reducing respondent fatigue and improving the respondent experience, you may bypass the respondent screener in PureSpectrum by passing in the respondent's qualification/condition codes in the query string parameters.  You must use the PureSpectrum values for these qualification codes and condition codes.

For singlepunch single punch questions like gender, you should pass in a single value e.g. &211=111.  For questions that are multipunchmulti punch, you may pass in multiple, comma separated values e.g. &1031=111,112.

Profiling

...

If you would like to pass in respondent criteria that pertains to the age and gender of their children, please follow the format &218=112&220_1=111&230_1=120&220_2=2&230_2=12 where 218=112 is a required parameter signifying that the respondent is a parent. 

220 is gender of child, 230 is age of child in months. 

the suffix _1 indicates child 1, _2 indicates child 2, etc.  We accept information for up to 5 children.  Additional items will be ignored, and duplicate items will be ignored as well.

...

for Device

PureSpectrum supports different devices for profiling respondents; Desktop/Laptop, Mobile, Tablet.  In all cases, PureSpectrum uses internal tools to auto detect respondent's device and appends the relevant device.  Therefore, there is no need to append this to the survey entry link. Device profiling can be done internally on suppliers end and only the profiles matching the device requirements of the survey can be sent in.

The qualification you can expect to see returned in surveys targeting specific devices is the following:
Qualification: Device (219)
Type: multiselect
Answer IDs: Desktop (111), Mobile (112), and/or Tablet (113)
Note: this will be the same in all countries

Profiling for geography

Profiling for Geography

PureSpectrum supports many different geographical regions for profiling respondents; Nationally Representative, Census Region, Census Division, State, DMA, CBSA, MSA, County and Zip.  In all cases, PureSpectrum uses zip codes to map all respondents to the relevant geographic region.  Therefore, the only survey entry link attribute necessary for geographic qualification is zip code.  

Example

Surveys with the criteria:

"qualification_code": 225,  (state)
"condition_codes": [ "41"]   (Oregon)

Would have an entry like passing a zip code in Oregon:
