I'm tasked with implementing a survey addition to an existing website. We have been do开发者_Python百科ing this survey with SurveyMonkey, which seems excellent, but the client doesn't like that it isn't on their site. SurveyMonkey doesn't have an API that I can plug into.

I've investigated Survey(tm) on http://survey.codeplex.com/. Terrible name:

What survey tool are you using? 
Oh, Survey. 
Yes, what survey tool are you using?
I said Survey. 
Ugh, so did I but which one?!

Spent about an hour trying to get the sample site running on my machine and decided to move on.

What are my other options? Ideally I'd like to administer the Survey on a remote site (like SurveyMonkey) and pull questions/push answers from my site to their database. I'm also open to the idea of doing this entirely in house but don't want to build something from the ground up.

I would look at SurveyGizmo. You should be able to deal with their API and handle everything remotely.

You can try LimeSurvey (http://www.limesurvey.org/) which comes with extensive API: http://manual.limesurvey.org/wiki/RemoteControl_2_API.

Usually you would install it on your own server, but hosted versions are available as well:

• http://www.limesurvey.com/hosting
• http://www.limeservice.com/en/

I would use Examinare.

The API is so easy to implement. Just check this out: 5 lines of code :)

And they have some tutorials in there under "How to start".
