SurveyMonkey API - Developer Inactive

2
votes

I am trying to use the SurveyMonkey Api. Currently I need to get the Access Token, but when I call the https://api.surveymonkey.net/oauth/authorize url with the right parameters, I get the following response:

<h1>Developer Inactive</h1>

Why is this happening? Am I missing something?

Thank you in advance!

There are number of reasons this might happen and you've haven't provided enough information for me to give you a definitive answer. My guess is that you're either passing the incorrect API key in your query string or no API key at all. You can email [email protected] with details to get a more specific answer. – Tony Mayse

Check your API key is 'active' for the application. Initially you might find the key set to "waiting" SurveyMonkey has a habit of keeping developers waiting for the keys to be accepted. (Super annoying unfortunately)

Check https://developer.surveymonkey.com/apps/mykeys

You can use API Token if you are using surveyMonkey Version 3.

webClient.Headers.Add("Authorization", "bearer " + api_token);
