survey_performance

Object

This performance corresponds to IR & LOI since survey start

last_block

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

achieved

Number

Quantity within this quota ID that your supply has completed

remaining

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.

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.
