Hi team, I am having some issue with GET to /polls/voters.json (I need all userNames or IDs that voted each option) Discourse is always returning me this error: { “errors”: [ “You supplied invalid parameters to the request: poll_name” ], “error_type”: “invalid_parameters” } post_id and poll_name are OK because vote and unvote endpoints works fine. It’s just this one :frowning: [image]

Dumb question, but don’t you see an ‘Export’ button on the poll itself? [Selection_343] Running the export ought to give you the API call (via your browser’s developer tools)…

Hi @ganncamp, I am not seeing that export button. Maybe should I configure this from server? I didn’t find any config about this. [image] I found an endpoint that should be returning this info but It’s not working - https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/plugins/poll/app/controllers/polls_controller.rb#L46

What do you get from “Show breakdown”?

The Export button shows if you have the Discourse Data Explorer plugin installed and working. There are plans to unbundle this eventually, but at the moment there is a dependency.

Trying to reverse engineer the Export button to get poll results, but always get a 422 response. url 'https://forum.example.com/admin/plugins/explorer/queries/-16/run.csv' params {'post_id': 82022, 'poll_name': 'poll2'} headers {'Api-Key': 'redacted', 'Api-Username': 'discobot'} requests.post(url, params=params, headers=headers) 422 Query 16 is the built-in poll report. I’ve allowed admins to access this query. @discobot is an admin. [image] This username and API key work for all other queries. This is my only Data Explorer-based query (which seems like it would be a really powerful tool, BTW).

Here’s a working solution to get what Export poll gets. import requests from io import StringIO import csv from urllib.parse import urlencode def get_discourse_poll_results(post_id, poll_name): """ Retrieves poll results from Discourse using Data Explorer's query 16, which returns the poll results in CSV format. """ url = f"{DISCOURSE_URL}/admin/plugins/explorer/queries/-16/run.csv" payload = { "params": f'{{"poll_name":"{poll_name}","post_id":"{post_id}"}}', "explain": "false", "limit": "1000000", "download": "1", } headers = { "Api-Key": DISCOURSE_API_KEY, "Api-Username": DISCOURSE_API_USERNAME, "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8", "X-Requested-With": "XMLHttpRequest" } try: response = requests.post(url, data=urlencode(payload), headers=headers) response.raise_for_status() csv_data = StringIO(response.text) reader = csv.reader(csv_data) results = list(reader) processed_results = process_poll_results(results) reformatted_results = reformat_rating_poll(processed_results) return reformatted_results except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e: print(f"Error retrieving poll results: {e}") print(f"Response text: {response.text}") return None

How could I get voters from a poll?

Thanks everyone for the help! I dont want to install that plugin. Maybe, I will find a workaround with vote and un-vote or something like that
