Google Forms JSON exporter
A small Google Apps Script file to export a form into a JSON file. This form JSON object can then be used to build tools to collect form responses though other clients than the web interface.
Installation
- Create a Google Apps Script file.
- Copy and paste the code in
src/Code.gs. - Replace this line of code with your form editing URL:
var URL = "<your-form-editing-url-here>";Then you are good to go!
Example output
This example output is for this form.
