}Survey Results
Submit a response
Text, a rating, answer options or a file, depending on the question type. Only the participant may answer — the key must act as that person; anyone else is a 403. For upload questions the result carries a pre-signed upload URL for fileName. A survey that is not launched is a 409.
Requires scope: surveys:write.

}Authorizations
An API key issued by a company administrator — an environment prefix (production: sdb_live_) followed by 32 characters. The prefix identifies the environment and MUST NOT be hard-coded or validated by clients; treat the whole key as opaque. Shown exactly once at creation; only a one-way hash is stored.
Scopes (granted per key on the create screen; :write never implies :read):

Headers
Any unique string (at most 200 characters). Retrying with the same key and identical content replays the stored response for 24h instead of executing twice.

Opaque resource id.
The person's email address — or the opaque person id from any response.
Example:
