Package for building and interacting with the Dynata Respondent Exchange (REX)

---

Quickstart:

---

Opportunity Registry

Instantiate a Registry Client

from dynata_rex import OpportunityRegistry
registry = OpportunityRegistry('rex_access_key', 'rex_secret_key')

List opportunity notifications from the registry

opportunities = registry.receive_notifications()


# [Opportunity(id=1,...), Opportunity(id=2,...), Opportunity(id=1,...)]

Convert an opportunity to JSON

opportunity_json = Opportunity.json()

Acknowledge a list of notifications from the registry

registry.ack_notifications([opportunity_1.id, ..., opportunity_N.id])

Acknowledge a single notification from the registry

registry.ack_notification(opportunity.id)

Get a list of corresponding opportunities from a project_id

corresponding = registry.list_project_opportunities(opportunity.project_id)

# [12345, 45678, 78901]

Download a collection from a collection-type targeting cell

data = registry.download_collection(cell.collection_id)

---

Respondent Gateway

Instantiate a RespondentGateway Client

from dynata_rex import RespondentGateway
gateway = RespondentGateway('rex_access_key', 'rex_secret_key')

Create a survey link for your respondent

url = 'https://respondent.fake.rex.dynata.com/start?ctx=XXXX&language=en'

signed_link = gateway.create_respondent_url(url,
                                            '1990-01-01',
                                            'male',
                                            '90210',
                                            'very-unique-respondent-id',

                                            ttl=60)
# https://respondent.fake.rex.dynata.com/start?ctx=XXXX&language=en&birth_date=1990-01-01&gender=male&postal_code=90210&respondent_id=very-unique-respondent-id&access_key=rex_access_key&expiration=2021-11-29T15:35:12.993Z&signature=4353e8c4ca8f8fb75530214ac78139b55ca3f090438c639476b8584afe1396e6

Add additional query parameters to a link that will be present on return from survey

url = 'https://respondent.fake.rex.dynata.com/start?ctx=XXXX&language=en'

custom_params = {
    'custom_parameter': 'custom_value',
    'another_custom_parameter': 'another_custom_value'
}

signed_link = gateway.create_respondent_url(url,
                                            '1990-01-01',
                                            'male',
                                            '90210',
                                            'very-unique-respondent-id',
                                            additional_params=custom_params,
                                            ttl=60)

# https://respondent.fake.rex.dynata.com/start?ctx=XXXX&language=en&custom_parameter=custom_value&another_custom_parameter=another_custom_value&birth_date=1990-01-01&gender=male&postal_code=90210&respondent_id=very-unique-respondent-id&access_key=rex_access_key&expiration=2021-12-02T13:48:55.759Z&signature=cf443326b73fb8af14c590e18d79a970fc3f73327c2d140c324ee1ce3020d064

Sign an inbound /start link with your credentials

url = 'https://respondent.fake.rex.dynata.com/start?ctx=XXXX&language=en'
signed_url = gateway.sign_url(url)

# "https://respondent.fake.rex.dynata.com/start?ctx=XXXX&language=en&access_key=rex_access_key&expiration=2021-11-24T16:12:06.070Z&signature=fa8b5cac82d34bcf8026904b353349db5b1b871f735e07a601389cb6da2d744d"

Generate a URL-quoted signed url

signed_url = gateway.sign_url(url, url_quoting=True)

# 'https://respondent.fake.rex.dynata.com/start?ctx=XXXX&language=en&access_key=rex_access_key&expiration=2021-11-24T16%3A12%3A35.991Z&signature=4219cf63406ae429d94dbe9c33027816c264c1e2bf1edbadd2510eb9bf2351c3'
