Error when doing exports with current version of ssaw

API
1

Am having trouble with Export function in ssaw. I have created reprex here. Any assistance please?

from ssaw import Client, models, ExportApi, QuestionnairesApi


url = 'https://mosotieno-demo.mysurvey.solutions/'
api_user = 'mosetest'
api_pass = 'Testing@2025'
workspace = 'test'

client = Client(url=url, api_user=api_user, api_password=api_pass, workspace=workspace)


for q in QuestionnairesApi(client).get_list():
    print(q.id) # Works!
    export = models.ExportJob(q, export_type='STATA') # Works!
    print(export) # Works!
    ExportApi(client).start(export, wait=True)  # Error: TypeError: Object of type Questionnaire is not JSON serializable

I just tried to run your example (haven’t worked with this code for years, so may have a different environment than you), encountered other issues related to the version of pydantic - there was a major switch between v1 and v2 since this code was written, I have a draft version where I updated the syntax to switch to the v2 and if using that my requests went through … you must’ve seen export processes started on Friday, right?

Are you still getting the same error? what happens if you use pydantic==1.7.2?

Yes, the export started but there were errors as shown in the picture above.

I have not tried pydantic==1.7.2. Let me just do that right away!

It works with pydantic==1.7.2

I just uploaded version 0.8 of the ssaw package with the latest pydantic and python versions (3.10-3.14) tested. You don’t need to change anything in your setup since it works now, but if decide to update, should be fine too.
