A fortunate chain of events – a dry read

A fortunate chain of events

At Askia we love to talk about Askia things… and about a year ago, the technical team got together in a room and agreed on what was our biggest need: the ability to elegantly call a web service from a survey and decipher the result and store it appropriately. Web-service not included I have mentioned in previous articles how an API allows you extend your para-data.
