New package on SSC: qualtricsload

[Nicholas Winter]

Thanks to Kit Baum, my new package qualtricsload is available from SSC.


qualtricsload downloads survey responses directly from Qualtrics using the Qualtrics API and optionally translates the dataset to Stata format if you have Stat-Transfer installed. Your Qualtrics account must have API access enabled, and you must obtain an API token. See the help file for instructions on checking access and obtaining a token from Qualtrics. You also need to know your Qualtrics datacenter id, which is usually the two or three letters and a number that preceed "qualtrics" in the URL for your Qualtrics login. See Locating the Datacenter ID for help finding it.

This is a really useful command - thanks for creating it.

Qualtrics data may sometimes include sensitive information or data covered by IRBs. Are there any assurances about security of data transfers using this command? It looks like it relies on a bunch of java code (e.g., stataQualtrics-0.1.0.jar, httpclient-4.5.5.jar), which is more opaque to me, so I figured I'd ask.
