Introduction

This document covers creating a record against a form that has already been created and released. For more information on how to generate forms via the API please refer to the Form Definition Section.

Getting Started

All API requests require an authorization token – reference our Authentication page for more information

📘
Note
Forms may have additional formatting, like sections or field groups like the example screenshot’s Safety Review. These additional formatting options are for a manual users’ benefit but will cause additional nesting in the form definition response. When designing forms that will have their records created only by API it is recommended these formatting features are not used.
Dependency rules and expressions will not be provided in the response, but rules will be evaluated at server side when a user submits data.

Create Records / Submit Form Data - High Volume

Create a record using the form definition response from the previous section of this document. This request is limited to Check and Audit type forms. The SubmitRecord API request accepts the same format as AddSubmitFormRequest. Requests submitted with SubmitRecord are NOT visible in the Admin Tools – Data Provisioning Import UI. The maximum number of SubmitRecord submissions is 400 per minute.
