Overview

About

Maintained by Adam PilipshenCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Provides functions to access survey results directly into R using the 'Qualtrics' API. 'Qualtrics' https://www.qualtrics.com/about/ is an online survey and data collection software platform. See https://api.qualtrics.com/ for more information about the 'Qualtrics' API. This package is community-maintained and is not officially supported by 'Qualtrics'.

Changes in 3.3.0

Migrated all_mailinglists() and fetch_mailinglist() from the deprecated Research Core Contacts API endpoints to the XM Directory API endpoints, ahead of Qualtrics retiring the old endpoints on June 30, 2026 (#386). The directory ID is discovered automatically from the API (or can be set with the QUALTRICS_DIRECTORY_ID environment variable), so no change to your code is needed to keep these functions working. Note that the XM Directory endpoints return a **different data shape**, so code that referenced the old column names will need to be updated:
all_mailinglists(): the id column is now mailingListId; the libraryId, category, and folder columns are no longer returned; and contactCount, ownerId, and creation/modification date columns are now included.

fetch_mailinglist(): the id column is now contactId, and externalDataReference is now extRef.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("qualtRics", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("ropensci/qualtRics")

Development version from ropensci/qualtRics. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-qualtrics

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-qualtRics

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-qualtRics

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
