Retrieve/populate choices for dropdown by calling a REST API?

Hello,

Is it possible to call a REST API to retrieve the choices for a select form item?

Yes, it is possible to retrieve the choices (options) of a form item (question) by making an API call.

https://api.jotform.com/docs/#form-id-question-id

Here is an example. You can see the choices (options) of the select item in the response.

Form URL: https://form.jotform.com/80995358446977

Thank you for the response; however, I meant the opposite of your answer.

I need to retrieve the actual choices that will be displayed to the user in a select by calling a REST API. Not retrieve the predefined choices defined in the form builder.

Have your tried using -Send-POST-Data-From-JotForm-Using-PHP-in-Custom-Thank-You-Page

then use your data in your custom script to perform the custom function. You could also try,-How-to-send-Submissions-to-Your-MySQL-Database-Using-PHP

Hope this helps.

Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

Neither of those articles answer my question.

1) It is possible to get a form source code and modify it. You can add your own code to populate the dropdown items. The modified code will be hosted on your web page in this case.

2) The form dropdown items can be also modified with JotForm API, see:

https://api.jotform.com/docs/#post-form-id-question-id

Example:

curl -X POST -d "question[options]=Option1|Option2|Option3|Option4" "https://api.jotform.com/form/{formID}/question/{questionID}?apiKey={apiKey}"

Thank you.
