## For AI agents

Programmatically create a survey, list surveys. Covers 77 operations with bearer, oauth2 authentication.

## Scope

Does not handle payments, communications, or developer tools - use for crm only.

## Capabilities

- Create a survey
- List surveys
- Get survey details
- Update a survey
- Delete a survey

## Use cases

### CRM Operations

Use the SurveyMonkey API to perform crm operations programmatically. The API provides 77 endpoints covering core functionality including create a survey, list surveys, get survey details.

Example prompt: Call POST /surveys to create a survey

### Automated Surveys Management

Automate surveys operations by combining multiple SurveyMonkey API endpoints. Agents can list surveys and then get survey details in a single workflow.

Example prompt: Call GET /surveys to list surveys, then verify the result

### AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call SurveyMonkey API endpoints through Jentic without managing credentials directly. An agent searches for the required operation by intent, receives the matching endpoint schema, and executes the call with Jentic-managed authentication. This eliminates the need to read API documentation or handle bearer, oauth2 tokens manually.

Example prompt: Search Jentic for 'create a survey', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

## Why Jentic

- **Setup:** Wiring the SurveyMonkey API by hand means handling its OAuth 2.0 bearer token flow against api.surveymonkey.com and managing retries yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the SurveyMonkey API from the API Directory, store the token once, and your agent calls it.
- **Permission scoping:** The SurveyMonkey API puts the survey id in the URL path (/surveys/{surveyId}/...), so a rule can pin your agent to one survey: it can read and edit that survey and its pages and nothing else. You choose the operations it may call, so destructive ones like deleting a survey are not included unless you add them.
- **Credential handling:** Your SurveyMonkey API bearer token is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
- **Discovery method:** Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'create a survey' or 'read survey details', and Jentic returns the matching SurveyMonkey API operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

## FAQ

### What authentication does the SurveyMonkey API use?

The SurveyMonkey API uses bearer, oauth2 authentication. Through Jentic, these credentials are stored encrypted in your Jentic One instance and injected at execution time, so raw secrets never enter the agent context.

### Can I create a survey with the SurveyMonkey API?

Yes. Use the POST /surveys endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.

### What are the rate limits for the SurveyMonkey API?

Rate limits are not specified in the OpenAPI spec. Check the vendor documentation for current limits. Through Jentic, rate limiting is handled automatically with retry logic built into the execution layer.

### How do I create a survey through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'create a survey'. Jentic returns the matching SurveyMonkey API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.

### How many endpoints does the SurveyMonkey API have?

The SurveyMonkey API exposes 77 endpoints covering surveys, survey pages, survey questions operations.

### Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the SurveyMonkey API?

Yes. Because Jentic One is self-hosted, your own rules decide which SurveyMonkey API operations and credentials your agent may use. Since the survey id sits in the URL path (/surveys/{surveyId}/...), you can pin the agent to a single survey so it only reads and edits that survey and its pages. You choose which operations it may call, so destructive ones like DELETE /surveys/{surveyId} stay out of reach unless you explicitly add them.
