authentication error

[ThomasWilli]

Hi
Thanks for the great package.

getSurveys() keeps telling me
Qualtrics API raised an authentication (401) error - you may not have the required authorization. Please check your API key and root url.

Well, obviously that seems (and most likely is) very stupid of me. However, I followed the documentation and registered using:
registerOptions(api_token="MYTOKEN", root_url="ROOTURL")

I also consulted the API Docs of Qualtrics and can't come up with a different rooturl... Do you have any advice on this?

Thanks in advance.
Tom

Hi Tom, Did you perhaps put http:// in the root_url? In case it helps, here are the commands that work for me on the R console: install.packages("qualtRics") library(qualtRics) registerOptions(api_token=“aaiudoiasudo_goobledigook_iasodiausoiduasoidu", root_url="au1.qualtrics.com") set_config(config(ssl_verifypeer = 0L)) mysurvey <- getSurvey(surveyID = 'SV_XXXXXXXXX', save_dir = "/Users/XXXXX/R/qualtRics/", verbose=TRUE, uselabels=FALSE, force_request = TRUE) lastResponseId.rds <- tail(mysurvey$ResponseID,1) Kind regards, Frank <https://www.qualtrics.com/>

Hmm... No I did not. Strange error.

Following the example provided here I'm still getting the Error in qualtRicsResponseCodes(res, raw = raw) : Qualtrics API raised an authentication (401) error - you may not have the required authorization. Please check your API key and root url.

I’m pretty sure your Token is outdated. Log into your qualtrics account and copy your current Token into your R code: I managed to recreate the same error by regenerating a new token and trying the old (invalidated) token: Hope that helps. Kind regards, Frank

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for your comment. Like @frankvanpraag suggested, the most likely situation is that your token is outdated. That error only occurs when authentication with the Qualtrics API fails. You can request a new token in your qualtrics dashboard. If the problem persists, try using your token/root url using the tool offered in the qualtrics API docs (e.g. https://api.qualtrics.com/docs/create-response-export, bottom of page) and perhaps contact support staff at Qualtrics.

I'm closing this issue since this is not an issue related to the qualtRics package.

Best,

Jasper.
