Using form output to an API

    Hope someone can help.  I am trying to use the output of my JotFoms to populate an API which needs the field names to match with a specific mapping.  I was able to go into the settings and update the "Name" filed to the correct mapping name for the API.  However, the Submit button in pressed on the JotForm and it actually sends the data it looks as if JotForm automatically adds the question number as a "Q##_" prior to the actual field name.  Is there anyplace to remove this?  I am not sure where it is going from inside the field settings itself.

    Thanks!

    Is there a way to remove the "Q##_" prefix for the field name on output?

    Hello there,

    If I understand you correctly, you were trying to link the form output into an API right?

    You might want to check our API documentation, it contains all the information about our API that you might need.

    Hope this helps. Thank you.

    Jan,

    This is not related to the JotForm API but trying to get the JotForm data output into an external database.  That database has it's own API to get the data in but when I try to use Webhooks to export the data I can not seem to get rid of that Question number prefix.
