This page provides a guide to Establishing a Connection to SurveyMonkey in CData Cloud, as well as information on the available resources, and a reference to the available connection properties.

Connecting to SurveyMonkey

Establishing a Connection shows how to authenticate to SurveyMonkey and configure any necessary connection properties to create a database in CData Cloud

Accessing Data from CData Cloud Services

Accessing data from SurveyMonkey through the available standard services and CData Cloud administration is documented in further details in the CData Cloud Documentation.

Connect to SurveyMonkey by selecting the corresponding icon in the Database tab. Required properties are listed under Settings. The Advanced tab lists connection properties that are not typically required.

Connecting to SurveyMonkey

SurveyMonkey provides two ways to connect to survey data:

• To use Basic authentication register a private application and obtain the personal access token.
• To connect with OAuth, either use the embedded OAuth credentials that come with SurveyMonkey, or create a custom OAuth application. For further information, see OAuth Authentication, below.

Authenticating to SurveyMonkey

Basic Authentication

Using basic authentication requires you to register a private application and obtain the personal access token.

After obtaining the personal access token, set these properties:

• AuthScheme = AccessToken
• AccessToken = enter the AccessToken generated in your application settings.

OAuth Authentication

SurveyMonkey provides embedded OAuth credentials that simplify connection from a Desktop application . To connect from a Web application, you must create a custom OAuth application, as described in Creating a Custom OAuth Application.

To connect via OAuth from all authentication flows, you must set AuthScheme to OAuth. (This is true regardless of whether you use the embedded OAuth credentials or create a custom OAuth application to connect.)

The following subsections describe how to authenticate to SurveyMonkey from the available OAuth flows. For information about how to create a custom OAuth application, and why you might want to create one even for auth flows that already have embedded OAuth credentials, see Creating a Custom OAuth Application.

For a complete list of connection string properties available in SurveyMonkey, see Connection.

Creating a Custom OAuth Application

CData embeds OAuth Application Credentials with CData branding that can be used when connecting to SurveyMonkey via a desktop application or a headless machine.

However, you must create a custom OAuth application to connect to SurveyMonkey via the Web. And since custom OAuth applications seamlessly support all three commonly-used auth flows, you might want to create custom OAuth applications (use your own OAuth Application Credentials) for those auth flows anyway.

Custom OAuth applications are useful if you want to:

• control branding of the authentication dialog;
• control the redirect URI that the application redirects the user to after the user authenticates; or
• customize the permissions that you are requesting from the user.

Procedure

The following procedure obtains the OAuth client credentials, the OAuthClientId, OAuthClientSecret and OAuthAccessToken, and registers the application in the SurveyMonkey developer console.

1. Open the SurveyMonkey developer console at https://developer.surveymonkey.com/.
2. Click My Apps.
3. Log in to your SurveyMonkey account.
4. Click Create an App. Specify an application nickname, and specify whether the application should be private or public. (Public application use requires an Advantage-level plan; private application use requires a Premier-level plan.)
5. Click Settings. The console displays the application settings for Client Id, Secret, and Access Token.
   • If this is a desktop application, set the Callback URL to http://localhost:33333 or a different port number of your choice.
   • If this is a Web application, set the Callback URL to a web page where the user should be redirected after they authorize your application.
6. Select the scopes required by your application. The Cloud requires the following scopes:
   • View Users
   • View Surveys
   • View Responses
   • View Response Details
   • View Contacts
   • View Collectors

The Cloud offers the possibility to select surveys as relational tables.

Creating Surveys

You can create your own Surveys by performing the following steps:

1. In SurveyMonkey, go to the home page and click "Create Survey" on the vertical navigation bar.
2. Either start a new survey from scratch or pick one of the many templates SurveyMonkey offers.
3. Design and create new questions for your survey.
4. When finished, pick one of the options to share your survey and start receiving data from it.

Selecting Responses from Your Survey

To access the responses to your surveys, append _Responses to your table name, MySurvey_Responses in the query below.

SELECT RespondentId, QuestionText, ChoiceId, ChoiceText, ChoiceWeight FROM MySurvey_Responses

Selecting Questions from Your Survey

To access your survey questions, append _Questions to your table name, MySurvey_Questions in the query below.

SELECT QuestionId, QuestionFamily, QuestionSubtype, QuestionText, AnswerText FROM MySurvey_Questions

Customizing the SSL Configuration

By default, the Cloud attempts to negotiate TLS with the server. The server certificate is validated against the default system trusted certificate store. You can override how the certificate gets validated using the SSLServerCert connection property.

To specify another certificate, see the SSLServerCert connection property.

Connecting Through a Firewall or Proxy

HTTP Proxies

To authenticate to an HTTP proxy, set the following:

• ProxyServer: the hostname or IP address of the proxy server that you want to route HTTP traffic through.
• ProxyPort: the TCP port that the proxy server is running on.
• ProxyAuthScheme: the authentication method the Cloud uses when authenticating to the proxy server.
• ProxyUser: the username of a user account registered with the proxy server.
• ProxyPassword: the password associated with the ProxyUser.

Other Proxies

Set the following properties:

• To use a proxy-based firewall, set FirewallType, FirewallServer, and FirewallPort.
• To tunnel the connection, set FirewallType to TUNNEL.
• To authenticate, specify FirewallUser and FirewallPassword.
• To authenticate to a SOCKS proxy, additionally set FirewallType to SOCKS5.

You can access any survey, and related data, in your account. The CData Cloud models entities in the SurveyMonkey API as tables, views, and stored procedures.

These are defined in schema files, which are configuration files with a simple format that makes the schemas easy to extend.

Using Query Processing

The Cloud offloads as much of the SELECT statement processing as possible to the SurveyMonkey APIs and then processes the rest of the query within the Cloud. The following sections document API limitations and requirements.

Views

The Cloud models surveys and survey statistics as relational Views. Views are tables that are typically read-only.

Stored Procedures

Stored Procedures are function-like interfaces to the data source. They can be used to search, update, and modify information in the data source.

Views are similar to tables in the way that data is represented; however, views are read-only.

Queries can be executed against a view as if it were a normal table.

Specifies the verbosity level of the log file, which controls the amount of detail logged. Supported values range from 1 to 5.

Data Type

string

Default Value

"1"

Remarks

This property defines the level of detail the Cloud includes in the log file. Higher verbosity levels increase the detail of the logged information, but may also result in larger log files and slower performance due to the additional data being captured.

The default verbosity level is 1, which is recommended for regular operation. Higher verbosity levels are primarily intended for debugging purposes. For more information on each level, refer to Logging.

When combined with the LogModules property, Verbosity can refine logging to specific categories of information.

This section provides a complete list of the Schema properties you can configure in the connection string for this provider.

---

Property	Description
MaxRows	Specifies the maximum rows returned for queries without aggregation or GROUP BY.
Pagesize	Specifies the maximum number of results to return from SurveyMonkey, per page. This setting overrides the default page size set by the datasource, which is optimized for most use cases.
PseudoColumns	Specifies the pseudocolumns to expose as table columns. Use the format 'TableName=ColumnName;TableName=ColumnName'. The default is an empty string, which disables this property.
ShowCustomVariables	A boolean determining if custom variables and their values should be listed when querying Survey_Responses.
Timeout	Specifies the maximum time, in seconds, that the provider waits for a server response before throwing a timeout error. The default is 60 seconds. Set to 0 to disable the timeout.
UseSimpleNames	Boolean determining if simple names should be used for tables and columns.

Specifies the maximum rows returned for queries without aggregation or GROUP BY.

Data Type

int

Default Value

-1

Remarks

This property sets an upper limit on the number of rows the Cloud returns for queries that do not include aggregation or GROUP BY clauses. This limit ensures that queries do not return excessively large result sets by default.

When a query includes a LIMIT clause, the value specified in the query takes precedence over the MaxRows setting. If MaxRows is set to "-1", no row limit is enforced unless a LIMIT clause is explicitly included in the query.

This property is useful for optimizing performance and preventing excessive resource consumption when executing queries that could otherwise return very large datasets.

Specifies the maximum number of results to return from SurveyMonkey, per page. This setting overrides the default page size set by the datasource, which is optimized for most use cases.

Data Type

int

Default Value

100

Remarks

You may want to adjust the default pagesize to optimize results for a particular object or service endpoint you are querying. Be aware that increasing the page size may improve performance, but it could also result in higher memory consumption per page.

Specifies the pseudocolumns to expose as table columns. Use the format 'TableName=ColumnName;TableName=ColumnName'. The default is an empty string, which disables this property.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property allows you to define which pseudocolumns the Cloud exposes as table columns.

To specify individual pseudocolumns, use the following format: "Table1=Column1;Table1=Column2;Table2=Column3"

To include all pseudocolumns for all tables use: "*=*"

A boolean determining if custom variables and their values should be listed when querying Survey_Responses.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

true

Remarks

A boolean determining if custom variables and their values should be listed when querying Survey_Responses.

Specifies the maximum time, in seconds, that the provider waits for a server response before throwing a timeout error. The default is 60 seconds. Set to 0 to disable the timeout.

Data Type

int

Default Value

60

Remarks

This property controls the maximum time, in seconds, that the Cloud waits for an operation to complete before canceling it. If the timeout period expires before the operation finishes, the Cloud cancels the operation and throws an exception.

The timeout applies to each individual communication with the server rather than the entire query or operation. For example, a query could continue running beyond 60 seconds if each paging call completes within the timeout limit.

Setting this property to 0 disables the timeout, allowing operations to run indefinitely until they succeed or fail due to other conditions such as server-side timeouts, network interruptions, or resource limits on the server. Use this property cautiously to avoid long-running operations that could degrade performance or result in unresponsive behavior.

Boolean determining if simple names should be used for tables and columns.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

false

Remarks

SurveyMonkey tables and columns can use special characters in names that are normally not allowed in standard databases. UseSimpleNames makes the Cloud easier to use with traditional database tools.

Setting UseSimpleNames to true will simplify the names of tables and columns returned. It will enforce a naming scheme such that only alphanumeric characters and the underscore are valid for the displayed table and column names. Any nonalphanumeric characters will be converted to an underscore.
