Create Attributes

Get Surveys - POST /attributes - http://api.spectrumsurveys.com/buyers/v1/attributes

Call this API to view the respondent's question text, condition codes, and condition code texts for unfamiliar qualification codes/condition codes. Survey_localization is a required Query String parameter.

Not yet available, api specs subject to change

Implementation

For trusted enterprise buyers that choose to integrate into the PureSpectrum Buy API - we offer the ability to create custom targeting attributes, based on your targeting library. Before creating survey, qualification, or quota that will require custom targeting, your integration should call this API to create a new qualification within the PureSpectrum library. We will return a qualification id that corresponds to your new attribute, as well as condition id's that correspond to you answer id's. Once you map these values internally, you may then create a survey with these new targets!

Some suppliers are able to dynamically consume, store, and screen respondents using a supply API endpoint. Creating good targeting questions will increase conversion & the overall respondent experience.

Considerations

Qualifications are shared across surveyLocalizations on PureSpectrum. For example, we use the same code for b2b employment in the US/English, that we use in Japanese Japan.
Condition codes when appropriate are also shared across localizations
A condition code may have different text across different localizations
Even though the codes may be the same, we represent these questions/answers using the appropriate language/localization
We only currently support 3 question types in this api call: Singlepunch, Singlepunch-alt, & Multipunch
- singlepunch is presented as a dropdown. Singlepunch-alt and Multipunch are shown in push-button form
