Example of a custom Qualtrics Web Service

This is a short proof of concept of a custom Qualtrics Web Service. It returns its results in a number of valid formats that Qualtrics recognizes and saves as Embedded Data.

It is written in Sinatra and immediately deployable to Heroku. An instance is running at https://salty-meadow-86558.herokuapp.com/. Point your Web Service block in the Survey Flow to this URL and be treated to baroque pop in URI form.

Formats that Qualtrics can process are:

• Key-value as presented in a URI query, e.g. key1=value&key2=value, as shown at /
• JSON, as shown at /json
• Well-formed XML, as shown at /xml and /xml_undeclared
