What this skill does


## Troubleshooting

If requests fail, run `zero doctor check-connector --env-name JOTFORM_TOKEN` or `zero doctor check-connector --url https://api.jotform.com/user --method GET`

## How to Use

All examples below assume you have `JOTFORM_TOKEN` set. Authentication uses the `APIKEY` header.

### 1. Get User Account Info

Retrieve information about the authenticated user.

```bash
curl -s "https://api.jotform.com/user" --header "APIKEY: $JOTFORM_TOKEN" | jq .
```

### 2. Get Account Usage

Check API usage limits and current consumption.

```bash
curl -s "https://api.jotform.com/user/usage" --header "APIKEY: $JOTFORM_TOKEN" | jq .
```

### 3. List All Forms

Retrieve all forms in the account. Supports pagination with `limit` and `offset`.

```bash
curl -s "https://api.jotform.com/user/forms?limit=20&offset=0" --header "APIKEY: $JOTFORM_TOKEN" | jq '.content[] | {id, title, status, created_at}'
```

Filter forms by status:

```bash
curl -s "https://api.jotform.com/user/forms?limit=20&filter=%7B%22status%3Ane%22%3A%22DELETED%22%7D" --header "APIKEY: $JOTFORM_TOKEN" | jq '.content[] | {id, title, status}'
```

### 4. Get Form Details

Retrieve details for a specific form. Replace `FORM_ID` with the actual form ID.

```bash
curl -s "https://api.jotform.com/form/FORM_ID" --header "APIKEY: $JOTFORM_TOKEN" | jq .
```

### 5. Get Form Questions

List all questions (fields) in a form.

```bash
curl -s "https://api.jotform.com/form/FORM_ID/questions" --header "APIKEY: $JOTFORM_TOKEN" | jq '.content'
```

Get a specific question by ID:

```bash
curl -s "https://api.jotform.com/form/FORM_ID/question/QUESTION_ID" --header "APIKEY: $JOTFORM_TOKEN" | jq '.content'
```

### 6. List Form Submissions

Get submissions for a specific form. Supports `limit`, `offset`, `orderby`, and `filter`.

```bash
curl -s "https://api.jotform.com/form/FORM_ID/submissions?limit=20&offset=0&orderby=created_at" --header "APIKEY: $JOTFORM_TOKEN" | jq '.content[] | {id, created_at, status}'
```

### 7. Get a Single Submission

Retrieve details for a specific submission.

```bash
curl -s "https://api.jotform.com/submission/SUBMISSION_ID" --header "APIKEY: $JOTFORM_TOKEN" | jq '.content'

### 8. Create a Submission

Submit new data to a form. Field keys follow the format `submission[QUESTION_ID]`.

```bash
curl -s -X POST "https://api.jotform.com/form/FORM_ID/submissions" --header "APIKEY: $JOTFORM_TOKEN" -d "submission[1]=John" -d "submission[2]=Doe" -d "submission[3][email protected]" | jq .
```

```

### 10. Delete a Submission

Delete a submission by ID.

## Guidelines

1. **Authentication**: Use the `APIKEY` header for all requests. Do not pass the API key as a URL parameter in production
2. **Pagination**: Use `limit` and `offset` query parameters to paginate large result sets. Default limit varies by endpoint
3. **Filtering**: Use the `filter` query parameter with URL-encoded JSON for advanced filtering (e.g., `filter={"status:ne":"DELETED"}`)
4. **Regional URLs**: Use `eu-api.jotform.com` for EU accounts or `hipaa-api.jotform.com` for HIPAA-compliant accounts
5. **Submission field keys**: When creating or updating submissions, field keys use the format `submission[QUESTION_ID]` where the question ID comes from the form questions endpoint
6. **Response format**: All responses return JSON with a `responseCode` (200 for success) and `content` field containing the data
7. **Rate limits**: Jotform enforces API rate limits based on your plan. Monitor the response headers for rate limit information
8. **Form IDs**: Form IDs are numeric. You can find them in the form URL or by listing all forms
