Decipher API Integration guide

STEP 1

Add the below 2 urls in the api.txt file, located in the company directory (selfserve/XXX)
(requires shell access, the Forsta support team can do it, too):
better-params-api.rose.conceptsauce.io
public-survey-data-api.rose.conceptsauce.io
Knowledge base link - https://decipher.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360010277973-Generic-API-Call

STEP 2

Add the below 2 to your sample source:

<var name="param_id" required="1"/>
<var name="respondent_id" unique="1"/>

In order to successfully do the API call - we're parsing some symbols away from the JSON object so the system accepts it, the symbols ' and *

If any of these symbols is used in either the param_id or respondent_id variables - it will not return the correct result from the API call.

For example - instead of using respondent_id test123*/test123' it should just be test123

STEP 3

Add the below code to your survey:

Add the below code to your survey:
<exec cond="not gv.isSST()">
surveyDir = "https://XXXX.XXXX.com/survey/%(first)s?state=[state]" % {"first": gv.survey.path}
redirectTarget = "https://survey.rose.conceptsauce.io/?param_id=%(first)s&amp;respondent_id=%(second)s&amp;link=%(third)s" % {"first": param_id, "second": respondent_id, "third": surveyDir}

The survey url, the XXXX parts should be replaced with yours (could be seen by opening the survey)

STEP 3 + base64 options

Base64 options. Add the below code to your survey:

disableProds = {
	"shelf": {
	"set:disabled_products": [
		"Product SKU CODE",
		"Product SKU CODE"
	]
	}
}

findDisabledProds = "&amp;custom_params=" + str(disableProds).replace("'",'"').replace(" ","").encode("base64").replace("\n","").replace("\t","")

surveyDir = "https://XXXX.XXXX.com/survey/%(first)s?state=[state]" % {"first": gv.survey.path}
redirectTarget = "https://survey.rose.conceptsauce.io/?param_id=%(first)s&amp;respondent_id=%(second)s&amp;link=%(third)s%(disableProds)s" % {"first": param_id, "second": respondent_id, "third": surveyDir, "disableProds": findDisabledProds}

The survey url, the XXXX parts should be replaced with yours (could be seen by opening the survey)

Make sure you change Product SKU CODE to the product code that is used in the shelf. Add as many as you need.

STEP 4

Redirecting:

suspendExternal(redirectTarget)
</exec>

STEP 5

JSON object needed for first API request:

<textarea 
  label="apiRequest_1"
  where="execute,survey,report">
  <title>hidden: api request 1</title>
  <exec>
createJson = {
	"event_type": "params_crud",
	"action": "get_params",
	"data": {
		"params_id": param_id
	}
}
thisQuestion.val = str(createJson).replace("'",'*').replace('*','"')
  </exec>
</textarea>

<suspend/>

STEP 6

The first API request, using Decipher’s build in logic node:

<logic label="logic_apiRequest_1" api:data="apiRequest_1.unsafe_val" api:method="POST" api:url="https://better-params-api.rose.conceptsauce.io/api" uses="api.1"/>
<suspend/>

STEP 7

If API call successful - create the needed JSON object for the second API request:

<textarea 
  label="hResult_apiRequest_1"
  where="execute,survey,report">
  <title>hidden: api request 1 response</title>
  <exec>
findApi = logic_apiRequest_1

if findApi.status == 200:
	response = findApi.r
	survey_id = str(response["data"]["params"]["survey_id"])
  
	createJson = {
		"event_type": "survey_data_request",
		"action": "get_shop_shelf_summary_purchases",
		"data": {
			"target": {
				"survey_id": survey_id,
				"respondent_id": respondent_id,
				"block_id": "shelf"
			}
		}
	}

	thisQuestion.val = str(createJson).replace("'",'*').replace('*','"')
  </exec>

</textarea>

<suspend/>

STEP 8

Second API request:

<logic label="logic_apiRequest_2" cond="hResult_apiRequest_1.val not in ['', None]" api:data="hResult_apiRequest_1.unsafe_val" api:method="POST" api:url="https://public-survey-data-api.rose.conceptsauce.io/api" uses="api.1"/>

STEP 9

Saving the total_unique_sku value:

<number 
  label="hTotal_Unique_Sku"
  size="3"
  where="execute,survey,report">
  <title>Hidden: total_unique_sku</title>
  <exec>
findApi = logic_apiRequest_2

if findApi.status == 200:
	response = findApi.r
	thisQuestion.val = response["data"]["basket_summary"]["total_unique_sku"]
  </exec>

</number>

<suspend/>

STEP 10

Saving the total_value of basket:

<float 
  label="hTotal_Value"
  size="3"
  where="execute,survey,report">
  <title>Hidden: total_value</title>
  <exec>
findApi = logic_apiRequest_2

if findApi.status == 200:
	response = findApi.r
	thisQuestion.val = response["data"]["basket_summary"]["total_value"]
  </exec>

</float>

<suspend/>

STEP 11 - Final step 🥳

Saving each selected product:

<checkbox 
  label="hSku_List"
  where="execute,survey,report">
  <title>Hidden: sku_list</title>
  <exec>
findApi = logic_apiRequest_2

if findApi.status == 200:
	response = findApi.r
	findItems = response["data"]["basket_summary"]["sku_list"].split(",")
	
	for x in findItems:
		try:
			thisQuestion.attr("r" + x.replace(" ", "")).val = 1
		except:
			pass
  </exec>

  <row label="r5053827111157">5053827111157</row>
  <row label="r5053827114332">5053827114332</row>
  <row label="r9417986939919">9417986939919</row>
