123FormBuilder API – Retrieve Forms

Here’s how you can retrieve web forms using the API of our HTML form builder.

The Retrieve Forms API page retrieves details on any form that belongs to the current user. The user is determined by the apiKey parameter.

You can find the Page URL for this request on our knowledge base for developers.

The XML output contains <forms> as the root element, with zero or more <form> sub-elements that, in turn, have the following sub-elements:

  • formId
  • formName
  • formEmails which has email sub-elements
  • formCreated
  • formDateStart
  • formDateEnd
  • formEncoding
  • formRedirectMessage
  • formRedirectUrl

The Retrieve Forms operation can also be used for subuser accounts.

{subusers-email-address-encoded} is the email address associated with the subuser’s account, which has the PHP urlencode() function applied.

For more advanced capabilities, we highly recommend you to use API V2.
