mQuest API (v1)

The mQuest API is a collection of RESTful JSON endpoints with which you can automate the management of your mQuest projects.

This API reference includes all technical documentation developers need to integrate third-party applications and platforms.

mQuest webhook

In addition to the API, cluetec also provides a webhook, which is capable of sending notifications to the customer's system about various events that occur on the mQuest platform (e.g. a new data set is available). A detailed description and documentation is available at: (mQuest webhook).

Conventions used in this API

The HTTP-headers which are used within the API-Calls are case-insensitive. We follow the W3C standard for HTTP Message (W3C RFC 2616).

Quick Start Guide

For developers eager to hit the ground running with the mQuest API, here are 3 quick steps to make your first call with the API.

Request a tenant and an API-Key at support@mquest.de
Make a test call using your key. You may use the code examples provided below to make a test call with your programming language of choice. This example fetches all users for your tenant. Be sure to replace the tenant and the API Key in sample code with your own and use API domain teststage.mquest.de if testing with our teststage.mquest.de environment.
Implement your application. Now that you've confirmed your API Key is working, get familiar with the API by reading the rest of this API Reference and commence building your application.

Base URI

The base URI for all endpoints is: https://{mQuest-host}/qs/{tenant}/api/{version}
It is continued by the endpoint of your operation. Expand the endpoint's path to see the request URL.

Host

The {mQuest-host} string depends on what server you are.
Example: "staging.mquest.de"

Tenant

The {tenant} (mandator) string is basically your cluetec customer ID.
Example: "default"

Version

The {version} refers to endpoint versioning. (It's an enum where most of the times "v1" is used.)
Example: "v1"

Authentication

All HTTP requests made against the mQuest API must be validated with an API Key.

Acquiring an API Key

If you don't have an API Key yet contact our support team to register for one.

Using Your API Key

You may use any server side programming language that can make HTTP requests to target the mQuest API. All requests should target the domain you've been assigned to and include your tenant in the url. E.g. https://qs3.mquest.de/qs/{tenant}

You can supply your API Key in REST API calls in one of two ways:

Preferred method: Via a custom header named X-Api-Key
Convenience method: Via a query string parameter named api_key

Header-API-Key

The authorization is granted with an api-key that is sent via custom header.

Security Scheme Type: API Key

Header parameter name: X-Api-Key

Query-API-Key

The authorization is granted with an api-key that is sent as query parameter.

Security Scheme Type: API Key

Query parameter name: api_key

Security Warning: It's important to secure your API Key against public access. The custom header option is strongly recommended over the querystring option for passing your API Key in a production environment

Errors

The API uses standard HTTP status codes to indicate the success or failure of an API call.

400 (Bad Request) The server could not process the request, likely due to an invalid argument.
401 (Unauthorized) Your request lacks valid authentication credentials, likely an issue with your API Key.
403 (Forbidden) Your request was rejected due to a permission issue, likely a restriction on the API Key's associated permissions.
500 (Internal Server Error) An unexpected server issue was encountered.

query	string Example: query=questionnaire=in=(fb_intern,fb_kunde);(user=="admin",version==24) Specifies a filter for the given resource. The syntax of the query is rsql. The following comparison operators are available: Equal to: `==` Not equal to: `!=` In: `=in=` Not in: `=out=` Multiple comparisons can be related to each other with logical operators: Logical AND: ; or and Logical OR: , or or By default, the AND operator takes precedence (i.e. it's evaluated before any OR operators are). However, a parenthesized expression can be used to change the precedence, yielding whatever the contained expression yields. Examples: `query=specifier=="task-0001" query=questionnaire=in=(fb_intern,fb_kunde);(user=="admin",version==24) query=properties.questioning_questionHidden==true` Which attributes can be used depends on the resource.
size	integer >= 1 Default: 20 Specifies the page size (how many elements will be contained in one page).

Get dynamic chapter results

Load the results of the given dynamic chapter. This will load the results of all iterations of this chapter over all interviews. The results can be filtered / queried by all columns defined in the header (this varies depending on the questionnaire). E.g. to filter the dynamic chapter results by main-result-id, the query might look like this:

query=id==1008

which will return data only for the (main-) id 1008. The value with which to filter refers to the value field inside the single response-column object. Here are some examples of valid queries:

query=OPT==1
query=QXY_1==0,(FILTER==0;OPT=='hello')

Tasks

A task can be used as a specialized project. Tasks are always bound to a project, but also to a certain user. This means, only this particular user will be able to see / load the task on its device.

Additionally, tasks can have some specialized configurations which might affect when the task will be visible to the user (availability), until when can the user execute the task (end_date), how many interviews the user should conduct before the task is completed (finish_type) etc.

A task can also be configured to alert the user via local or push notifications at the tasks start_date.

As opposed to projects / questionnaires, users don't need to explicitly load tasks on their device. They will be automatically synchronized, with all their dependencies (e.g. questionnaire, attachments etc.).

You can control which users should receive a particular task by assigning the task to a user or to a user-group. When a task is assigned to a group, all users which are members of the particular group or any sub-group will receive the task.

Tasks can also have attachments like auto-completion-lists or images attached to them. See Task Attachments.

Sometimes you might not want a project to be loadable without a task attached to it. You can achive this by setting the unpersonalized_offline_questioning_allowed attribute of the particular project to false.

Because a task is bound to a project, when a project is removed, all associated tasks will be removed as well.

Get list of tasks

Get a list of tasks.

The resource is a paged resource, which means that not all elements will be included in the response but only a page. You can control the size of the page via the size query parameter and which page should be loaded via the page query parameter.

All attributes of the task can be used for filtering the list of tasks with the query query parameter. If filtering by nested attributes (e.g. task parameters) use the dot-notation to access the nested attribute (e.g. parameters.key_xyz==abc_val;short_desc.en=="very important task"). The equals (==) and not equals (!=) operators, when used with string-attributes, also support wildcards (e.g. detail_desc.de=="*Berlin*" - this will search for all tasks which contain the word Berlin in their german short-desc).

Chapter presets are accessed by the following syntax: chapter_presets.[<0-based array_index>].(index|label.|parameters.) e.g.: to access the parameter store in the second preset-element of the chapter storeCheck: chapter_presets.storeCheck[1].parameters.store

The same applies for sorting of tasks which can be configured via the sort query parameter.

Create new task

Create a new task. A task is always bound to a project (questionnaire). Therefore the questionnaire set in the task must exist - otherwise the resource will respond with an error.

Although a task is assigned to a user, the user attribute in the task might be omitted. This might be useful if you can't set the user immediately when creating the task but want to set the user afterwards by updating the task. A task without user or with a user which doesn't exist will not be available to any clients.

path Parameters

tenant required	string[\w\d@\.\-_]{3,100} See Tenant in the Base URI section.
version required	string Value: "v1" The current version of the endpoint

Request Body schema: application/json

The form parameters for a post request to create a new task.

namespace	string >= 3 characters Namespace for grouping tasks. If no namepsace was provided, one will be generated while creating a task.
specifier	string >= 3 characters In combination with the namespace, clearly identifies a task. There cannot be more than one task with the same combination of specifier and namespace in the system. It is an Alphanumerical value and needs at least 3 characters. If a specifier was not provided while creating a task, one will be generated.
name	string >= 3 characters The name of the task.
questionnaire	string The name of the questionnaire which is to be used for the task.
status	string Default: "OPEN" Enum: "OPEN" "LOADED" "IN_PROGRESS" "ABORTED" "CANCELED" "EXPIRED" "FINISHED" "REJECTED" "UNKNOWN" Specifies status of the task.
availability	string Default: "ALWAYS_VISIBLE_ALWAYS_STARTABLE" Enum: "ALWAYS_VISIBLE_ALWAYS_STARTABLE" "ALWAYS_VISIBLE_STARTABLE_IN_TIMEFRAME" "VISIBLE_IN_TIMEFRAME_STARTABLE_IN_TIMEFRAME" "ALWAYS_VISIBLE_STARTABLE_IN_GEO_FENCE" "VISIBLE_IN_GEO_FENCE_STARTABLE_IN_GEO_FENCE" Specifies the visibility / availability of a task.
category_id	string A Task can have a category. Tasks will be arranged into the categories on the clients startscreen.
finish_type	integer >= -1 Indicates under which condition the task is considered completed. Refers to how often the associated questionnaire has to be completed. -1: the questionnaire can be completed an indefinite number of times. 1-N: the task is completed once the questionnaire has been completed n times.
start_notifications	boolean Default: false Indicates whether the user gets a notification when the task is available on starttime.
push_notifications	boolean Default: false Indicates whether the user gets push notifications when there are updates.
rejectable	boolean Default: false Indicates whether the user has the possibility to reject the task.
user	string The name of the user that will carry out the task.
group	string A task can also be assigned to a group of users. In this case, users which are members of this group or of any sub group will receive this task. E.g. a user who is a member of the group `/org-x/sales` will receive all tasks assigned to `/org-x` and `/org-x/sales`. But the user won't receive a task assigned to the group `/org-x/sales/project-a`. See the groups section for more information on managing groups. And the join group and leave group operations on how to assign/unassign a user to/from a group.
due_date	string <date-time> Specifies the date starting from which the task should be completed.
start_date	string <date-time> Specifies the start date from which the task will be available.
end_date	string <date-time> Specifies the end date from which the task will not be available anymore.
local_time	boolean Default: false If set to `true`, the client will ignore any time-zones provided in start/end/due date and interpret these values with its local time-zone. E.g.: a client with Pacific Standard Time (UTC-08:00) will interpret the timestamp `11:20:00+0100` as `11:20:00-0800` if `local_time=true`. As opposed to `02:20:00-0800` if `local_time=false`. This setting only affects the client. For task expiration, the timezone as set in `end_date` will be used.
	object Internationalized short description of the task. A dictionary of key-values where key is the language-code (e.g. de, en etc.) and value is the internationalized text. This text will appear on task overview screen.
	object Internationalized detailed description of the task. A dictionary of key-values where key is the language-code (e.g. de, en etc.) and value is the internationalized text. In this text you can use a lot of variables which change the text during runtime. E.g. %task_property_myTaskProperty1%
	object
	Array of objects
training	boolean Default: false Indicates whether the task is for training or for a real questioning scenario.

Header-API-KeyQuery-API-Key

path Parameters

tenant required	string[\w\d@\.\-_]{3,100} See Tenant in the Base URI section.
version required	enum (as string) See Version in the Base URI section.

query Parameters

sort	string Default: "user_name,ASC" Example: sort=last_name,DESC Sorts the list of users based on the specified parameter. The list can be sorted in ascending or descending order by appending a comma to the parameter followed by `ASC` for ascending or `DESC` for descending (e.g. `sort=first_name,DESC` - will sort by users first name in descending order). If no order direction is specified (e.g. `sort=last_name`), then `ASC` will be used by default. The user list will be sorted by user_name in ascending order by default (if no sort parameter was provided). The following user attributes can be used for sorting: id, user_name, first_name, last_name, email, email_verified, roles, groups, company, gender, phonenumber, notes, attributes.[attribute-name].
size	integer >= 1 Default: 20 Specifies the page size (how many elements will be contained in one page).
page	integer >= 1 Default: 1 Specifies the page number to be retrieved.
search	string Example: search=smith Filters users by username or email or first name or last name. Will find users whose username/email/first_name/last_name contains the provided value. The filter is case-insensitive (upper- and lowercase letters are treated the same). Any accents (diacritic signs) will be ignored (e.g. müller is equal to muller). This filter is ANDed with all other search.* filters.
search.username	string Example: search.username=j.doe Filters users by username. Will find users whose username contains the provided value. The filter is case-insensitive (upper- and lowercase letters are treated the same). Any accents (diacritic signs) will be ignored (e.g. müller is equal to muller). This filter is ANDed with all other search.* filters.
search.email	string Example: search.email=%40my-company.com Filters users by email. Will find users whose email contains the provided value. The filter is case-insensitive (upper- and lowercase letters are treated the same). Any accents (diacritic signs) will be ignored (e.g. müller is equal to muller). This filter is ANDed with all other search.* filters.
search.first-name	string Example: search.first-name=john Filters users by first name. Will find users whose first name contains the provided value. The filter is case-insensitive (upper- and lowercase letters are treated the same). Any accents (diacritic signs) will be ignored (e.g. müller is equal to muller). This filter is ANDed with all other search.* filters.
search.last-name	string Example: search.last-name=doe Filters users by last name. Will find users whose last name contains the provided value. The filter is case-insensitive (upper- and lowercase letters are treated the same). Any accents (diacritic signs) will be ignored (e.g. müller is equal to muller). This filter is ANDed with all other search.* filters.
search.role.blank	boolean Example: search.role.blank=true Filters users by role. Will find users which have no roles assigned if the filter is set to true. Otherwise, if the filter is set to false, will find users with at least one role assigned. This filter is ORed with search.role.name and ANDed with all other search.* filters. Note: if set to false then search.role.name will have no effect as the filter would search for users with at least one role OR having the role search.role.name* assigned*
search.role.name	string Example: search.role.name=tenant_admin Filters users by role name. Will find users which have any of the provided roles assigned. To filter by multiple roles, search.role.name can be provided multiple times (e.g. `?search.role.name=tenant_admin&search.role.name=surveyor` -- will find all users which have either the role tenant_admin or the role surveyor or both assigned). This filter is ORed with search.role.blank and ANDed with all other search.* filters.
search.group.blank	boolean Example: search.group.blank=true Filters users by group. Will find users which have no groups assigned if the filter is set to true. Otherwise, if the filter is set to false, will find users with at least one group assigned. This filter is ORed with search.group.id and ANDed with all other search.* filters. Note: if set to false then search.group.id will have no effect as the filter would search for users being a member of at least one group OR being a member of search.group.id
search.group.id	string Example: search.group.id=e552383e-d5b6-45c0-8c7c-beb55f996b06 Filters users by group id. Will find users which have any of the provided groups assigned. To filter by multiple groups, search.group.id can be provided multiple times (e.g. `?search.group.id=e552383e-d5b6-45c0-8c7c-beb55f996b06&search.group.id=b22ab954-6754-4a1b-9192-b11e593079d1` -- will find all users which are either member of the group e552383e-d5b6-45c0-8c7c-beb55f996b06 or the group b22ab954-6754-4a1b-9192-b11e593079d1 or both). This filter is ORed with search.group.blank and ANDed with all other search.* filters.
search.attribute.<attribute-name>	string Example: search.attribute.<attribute-name>=attribute-value Filters users by their attributes. Will find users which have the given attribute and the attributes value contains the provided value. E.g. to filter users by company: `?search.attribute.company=cluetec`. The filter is case-insensitive (upper- and lowercase letters are treated the same). Any accents (diacritic signs) will be ignored (e.g. müller is equal to muller). This filter is ANDed with all other search.* filters.

Groups

Users can be organized into groups. A group can, similar to users, have granted roles. Every user who is a member of the group inherits all granted roles of that group and all parent groups. E.g. if a user with the role interviewer joins a group with granted role tenant_admin, then the effective roles of the user will be interviewer and tenant_admin.

Groups can be organized into hierarchies - meaning that one group can have subgroups. Subgroups will, similar to users, inherit the granted roles of their parent groups.

Besides the ability to control user permissions, groups can also be used in certain api-endpoints as a substitue to a user-name. E.g. you can assign a task to a group rather than a user. This would be equivalent to assigning the task to multiple users (all users who are members of the particular group).

This section covers the management of groups and sub-groups.

When creating or updating a group, you have to make sure that the group-name is unique on its hierarchy level. E.g. there can't be two top-level groups both named groupA. Though you can have a top-level group groupA and a sub-group groupA. The server will respond with 409 (Conflict) if you try to create a top-level- or a sub-group which has not a unique name on this hierarchy level.

Client-Configs

The mobile clients have some configs which are not available through the settings menu. These configs can be set/changed by creating a QR code, containing the desired configs as key/value pairs, which then can be scanned in the apps. This might be tedious in situations where all clients should have a certain config set - as all clients would have to scan the QR code.

Client configs can be set globally for all clients by using this API. The clients will pickup the configs with every sync and configure themselves accordingly.

Get all client configs

List all client configs. These are sent to clients with each sync.
