qualtRics - qualtRics 3.2.0

• Changed how multiple choice questions are mapped to an R factor with the convert argument to fetch_survey(), to now excluding NA as a factor level (#315)

• Deprecated the save_dir and force_request arguments for fetch_survey(), so that survey response downloads are no longer cached; calls to fetch_survey() now always query the Qualtrics API (#317)

• Added new tmp_dir argument to fetch_survey() so users can specify where survey results are briefly stored on disk (#327)

• Add fetch_distribution_history() and list_distribution_links() for more handling of distribution data, thanks to @chrisumphlett and @dsen6644 (#221, #239)

• Changed handling of literal "NA" text input from users so it is no longer converted to an R NA value thanks to @jmobrien (#244)

• Use httr::RETRY() instead of httr::VERB() in qualtrics_api_request() to implement consistent API error-handling across all of the functions in the package. They will be retried up to 3 times if there is any non-4xx error. Thanks to @chrisumphlett (#217)

qualtRics - qualtRics v3.1.0

• New maintainer: Julia Silge
• Add all previous contributors to DESCRIPTION as ctb
• Declare testthat dependency in DESCRIPTION (reason for previous archiving from CRAN)
• Simpler approach for storing API credentials as environment variables with qualtrics_api_credentials() (registerOptions() is now soft deprecated with a warning)
• Simplify README (keep all existing detailed workflow documentation in vignette)
• Relicense from GPL-3 to MIT. See consent from authors here.
• Improvements to documentation throughout
• Renaming (with warnings on old versions) of key functions for clarity and reduction in confusion, plus improvements:
  • all_surveys() (from old version of getSurveys())
  • survey_questions() (from old version of getSurveyQuestions())
  • fetch_survey() (from old version of getSurvey())
  • read_survey() (from old version of readSurvey())

qualtRics - qualtRics v3.01

NEW FEATURES

• Added 'metadata' function that allows the user to retrieve detailed metadata about survey.
• User can now convert specific question types automatically. See this page for more information.

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

• Using package httptest for mock API requests so that API calls can be tested.
• getSurveys() and getSurveyQuestions() now return a tibble

BUG FIXES

• Added .onDetach conditions so that environment variables (root url and API key) are removed when package is unloaded. This prevents issues if user decides to load the package again.
• We found that surveys that use new lines in the questions break the readSurvey function. The problem is, that read.csv (and read.table as well as the readr library implementation) ignore the quote = "\"" option when a skip = 2 or skip = 3 parameter is set. As a result the read function slices off the questions row somewhere in the middle when first importing just the table body using skip.

DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT

• convertstandardcolumns deprecated since readr::read_csv does this automagically. It has been changed in config file to 'convertvariables'.

qualtRics - qualtRics v2.2

Changes:

• readSurvey() now takes an additional argument, fileEncoding, so that user can import surveys using a specific encoding. 'fileEncoding' can also be passed as optional argument in getSurvey(). Added new parameter that reads legacy data format.
• Better argument checking.
• getSurveyQuestions() now returns additional information. h/t @phoebewong
• Fixes several bugs and stability issues
• More informative error messages

Bug fixes:

Ready for CRAN submission.

Changelog

• registerOptions() now takes more arguments. User can now set global options. See qualtRicsConfigFile() for more information. Same options are now passed through ... in specific functions.
• Added appveyor testing.
• Added support for a configuration file to store API key and root url in the working directory.
• registerApiKey() has been replaced by registerOptions(). This function stores both a user's API key and root url. Function also scans for a configuration file .qualtRics.yml that contains this information.
• Added a new script called zzz.R. When the package is loaded, the .onLoad() function in this file scans the working directory for a .qualtRics.yml configuration file so that the user doesn't have to register this information manually.
• Added a new function qualtRicsConfigFile() that prints instructions for the user on how to set up a configuration file to the R Console.
• Removed the root_url parameter from all functions that required it.
• Dates are now converted without a specific timezone.
• Added a new function getSurveyQuestions() that allows the user to download a data frame containing question labels and IDs.
• Added parameter includedQuestionIds so user can select questions they want to download. Need to use the QID value from getSurveyQuestions().
• Updated examples and documentation of functions.
• Added the following parameters to getSurvey():
  • seenUnansweredRecode: String. Recode seen but unanswered questions with a string value.
  • limit: Integer. Maximum number of responses exported. Defaults to NULL (all responses).
  • useLocalTime: Boolean. Use local timezone to determine response date values.
• getSurveys() now retrieves > 100 results.
