This article is for an API Partner wanting to retrieve partner organization response information.
Summary
When interacting with a Discloser’s response data you can call two methods GET and PUT. This article covers the GET request, which allows you to retrieve the existing answer-values in an individual response. A GET request can be sent after a PUT request to verify the update to the data.
Pre-requisites: Valid subscription key and organization UUID for the respective Disclosure API environment.
Note - Data Sync: To ensure you are seeing the latest answer-values within a discloser’s questionnaire-response then this data should be refreshed when updates are made to the response, either via the API or within the portal directly.
Note - Hidden Questions: When a value is updated into a question which has been hidden by show/hide conditional logic, the value is stored regardless. Should the question become visible again (if the answer to a lead question changes), the previously hidden value would be included in the submission. You can see this using the “status” field.
Note – Different States: It is possible to GET when the response workflow is in an “In Progress”, “Submitted” or “Amendments” state.
GET Request
The GET request details how to send the request to the response/response endpoint and the response that is returned when a successful request is sent.

Field Table
Field | Description | Format |

discloserId | The internal CDP ID of the user that last edited the answer-value in the CDP Portal. | string |
partnerId | The internal CDP ID of the API Partner that updated the response via the API. | string |
createdOn | Timestamp of when the answer-value was initially created | string |
updatedOn | Timestamp of when the answer-value was most recently updated | string |
rowId | For Matrix question type only: the ID of the row the answer-value belongs too | string |
responseVersionId | The ID of response version. |
|
row | For Matrix question type only: Additional information of a row in a matrix question. | array |
attachments | For Attachment question type only: additional information about the attached file: | array |

Note: The “status” field is the current state of the question in the portal. These are for display purposes only; the discloser should ensure their response is filled out correctly prior to final submission.
- “UNANSWERED” – The question has not been answered.
- “ANSWERED” – The question is answered or has been marked by the user as answered
- “SKIPPED” – The question is marked as skipped by the user. No content has been filled.
- “REVIEWED” – The question has been marked as reviewed by the submission lead.
- “CONDITIONAL” – The question is currently locked/hidden in the CDP Portal by conditional logic.
Known Issue - Update Source: The “source” of an answer-value update is not currently shared via the API. As such, you cannot tell if an answer-value was updated by a user in the Portal, an Excel import or via the API.
