Surveymonkey

SurveyMonkey is the most widely recognized survey platform with an API that enables programmatic survey creation, distribution, and response retrieval. For agents that need to collect structured feedback at scale — customer satisfaction surveys, market research, employee engagement — SurveyMonkey provides the reach and name recognition of an established platform with sufficient API depth for automation. The API is better suited to reading survey results than building complex survey logic programmatically, but covers the primary automation use cases.

The API v3 covers surveys, collectors, responses, and survey metadata. Agents can create surveys, set up email and web link collectors, monitor response counts, and retrieve response data as structured JSON. The ability to retrieve individual and aggregate response data is the most valuable part for analytical workflows — pulling survey results into agent-driven analysis pipelines without manual export.

Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 for user-delegated access and API keys for server-to-server workflows. The OAuth flow is appropriate for SaaS products that need users to connect their SurveyMonkey accounts. Server-to-server API keys require a SurveyMonkey account with appropriate plan tier — not all survey functionality is available on free plans.

Reliability is appropriate for an established survey platform. API access to response data is straightforward and predictable. Teams should note that SurveyMonkey's plan-gating means some API features — particularly response data export for large surveys — may require paid plan access, which can create surprises during integration testing if the test account is on a different plan than production.

Documentation is well-developed and reflects SurveyMonkey's long API history. The API reference is complete and the authentication guides are clear. Teams integrating SurveyMonkey for response data retrieval will find the docs straightforward. Survey creation via API has some complexity around question types and flow logic that requires studying the survey structure documentation.
