123FormBuilder API – Retrieve Submissions

Important Note

This version of the API was deprecated. If you still need to automate your data collection processes, and retrieve collected data or make various operations related to your 123FormBuilder account through API calls, you can use our new and improved API v2. Please visit our developer documentation for more details.

If you’re using our HTML form generator, here’s where you can learn how to retrieve submissions using the 123FormBuilder API.

The Retrieve Submissions action is a little more complex than the others. It returns details about the submissions of a certain form.

You can obtain the Page URL from our knowledge base for developers.

The pageNr and pageSize POST parameters can be used to determine the pagination in cases of forms with many submissions. By default, pageNr is 0 and pageSize is 25. When stated explicitly, the pageSize value must be between 25 and 100.

pageSize represents the number of submissions displayed on one page.

pageNr multiplied by pageSize represents the number of the submission with which displaying will start.

The submissions in the output can be ordered by the sort parameter, which can have one of the following values: ASC or DESC. Submissions are sorted chronologically, in ascending order (oldest → newest) or in descending order (newest → oldest).

For more advanced capabilities, we highly recommend you to use API V2.

  1. Can I specify a filter and choose which fields to return? Like I want to get submissions for one day. If yes, where can I find more details about this api? This isn’t enough documentation.

    1. Hello! You can retrieve all the submissions from the form, but you can not filter them. However, you can use a script to filter the data received. For more information about API, feel feel to check out this page.

  2. Although I am able to retrieve other apis, when i process with submissions I receive ‘You are not allowed to view this page!’ error.
