Hello,

I'm using the RemoteControl api specified here:
manual.limesurvey.org/RemoteControl_2_API

I'm trying to get responses to a survey that includes a File Upload question type. When I make a call to export_responses, I can get information about a particular uploaded file (like the file name and size), but I can't seem to retrieve the uploaded file itself.

Does anyone know if this is possible using the API or some other programmatic method?

Thanks for your help.

I am sorry but this currently not possible yet.

But we surely accept patches to extend the API, even for the current stable version (if you want to have a go at it).

Best regards

If the user can be logged into limesurvey with rights to view responses, then perhaps you could construct a direct link for them to use in downloading responses to File Upload questions, such as -- http://[LIMESURVEY]/surveys/index.php/admin/responses?sa=actionDownloadfiles&surveyid=[SURVEY_ID]&sResponseId=[RESPONSE_ID]
