I have a requirement where we were looking to pull all of the field / validation / styling information for a form via the REST API and
then display those fields on our website and post the results back to Eloqua via the API. There's a myriad of reasons for this requirement,
so let's try to avoid that discussion for now (although any suggestions is certainly welcome).
Before I list my questions, YES we are running E9 for both of our instances. I have also viewed the supported operations matrix that clearly
shows that Forms cannot be retrieved via the RESTful API using E9.
So now the questions:
1. I have been able to pull form information using 2 different rest calls. assets/form/{id} and asset/forms?search={formName}&count=1
Both of these calls appear to pull the form information. Is this some sort of "spill over" development that's allowing this to work (at times)?
In other words, If these calls are not supported in E9, why am I getting results (not that i mind).
2. The results i'm getting are not complete. The style fields are not populated and the raw html field of the entire form is only populated for
forms that I have recently created. Can someone please elaborate on this?
3. Multi Radio list are not including the optionListId in the response. So there is nothing to map back to for the Display Text and Value of the
selected option. Is this a bug? On a related note, why can't I create Multi-Radio and Multi-Checkbox fields from outside the Layout editor?
4. It's possible to create more fields than are actually shown on the form in the layout. Is there any way of knowing within the API call which form
fields are actually being used in a layout so they will not be rendered on our site?
5. Is there any other method besides the REST calls that I mentioned in question 1 to pull the form informationt that i'm needing?
Again, the goal is to allow the users to create the forms in Eloqua and then via the API pull the form "architecture" and then dynamically render the inputs on
our site when the page is called. We will then post the results back to Eloqua using the Rest API (all on E9)..
Any answers to the questions are appreciated. Any alternate implementation suggestions are GREATLY appreciated.
