# SurveyRock API

SurveyRock is a survey creation tool. API v1 provides access to surveys, distributors, responses and respondents. The API exposes 7 endpoints secured with bearer authentication.

## For AI agents

Programmatically create a distributor, list all distributors for a survey. Covers 7 operations with bearer authentication.

## Scope

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

## Capabilities

- Create a distributor
- List all distributors for a survey
- Get number of responses
- Query and filter SurveyRock API records by parameters
- Monitor SurveyRock API operational status and events

## Use cases

### Education Operations

Use the SurveyRock API to perform education operations programmatically. The API provides 7 endpoints covering core functionality including create a distributor, list all distributors for a survey, list respondents.

Example prompt: Call POST `/distributors/create_distributor` to create a distributor

### Automated Distributors Management

Automate distributors operations by combining multiple SurveyRock API endpoints. Agents can list all distributors for a survey and then list respondents in a single workflow.

Example prompt: Call GET `/distributors/get_distributor_list` to list all distributors for a survey, then verify the result

### AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call SurveyRock 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 tokens manually.

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

## Why Jentic

- **Setup:** Wiring SurveyRock by hand means setting up its bearer token auth against the api.surveyrock.com host and threading that token through every survey and response call yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the SurveyRock API from the API Directory, store the bearer token once, and your agent calls it.
- **Permission scoping:** The SurveyRock operations here are collection reads and a distributor create that carry their targets in the query or request body, so scope your agent to the operations it needs, such as get_survey_list and get_response_details. You pick that set, so a write like create_distributor is only included if you add it.
- **Credential handling:** Your SurveyRock 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 'list survey responses' or 'create a distributor', and Jentic returns the matching SurveyRock operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

## FAQ

### What authentication does the SurveyRock API use?

The SurveyRock API uses a Bearer token in the Authorization header. 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 distributor with the SurveyRock API?

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

### What are the rate limits for the SurveyRock 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 distributor through Jentic?

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

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

The SurveyRock API exposes 7 endpoints covering distributors, responses, surveys operations.

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

Yes. Jentic One runs self-hosted on your own infrastructure, and your own rules decide which SurveyRock operations and credentials the agent may use. You choose the exact set it can call, so you can grant only reads like get_survey_list, get_distributor_list, and get_response_details while withholding a write such as create_distributor. Because your bearer token is stored by your Jentic One instance and injected only for the operations you allow, the agent can never reach an endpoint you did not include.
