JotForm API requires API key for all user related calls. You can create your API Keys at API section of My Account page.

Examples

from jotform import *

def main():

    jotformAPIClient = JotformAPIClient('YOUR API KEY')

    forms = jotformAPIClient.get_forms()

    for form in forms:
    	print form["title"]

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Get submissions of the latest form

from jotform import *

def main():

    jotformAPIClient = JotformAPIClient('YOUR API KEY')

    forms = jotformAPIClient.get_forms(None, 1, None, None)

    latestForm = forms[0]

    latestFormID = latestForm["id"]

    submissions = jotformAPIClient.get_form_submissions(latestFormID)

    print submissions

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Get latest 100 submissions ordered by creation date

from jotform import *

def main():

    jotformAPIClient = JotformAPIClient('YOUR API KEY')

    submissions = jotformAPIClient.get_submissions(0, 100, None, "created_at")

    print submissions

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Submission and form filter examples

from jotform import *

def main():

    jotformAPIClient = JotformAPIClient('YOUR API KEY')

    submission_filter = {"id:gt":"FORM ID", "created_at": "DATE"}

    submission = jotformAPIClient.get_submissions(0, 0, submission_filter, "") 
    print submission

    form_filter = {"id:gt": "FORM ID"}

    forms = jotformAPIClient.get_forms(0,0, form_filter, "")
    print forms

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Delete last 50 submissions

from jotform import *

def main():

    jotformAPIClient = JotformAPIClient('YOUR API KEY')

    submissions = jotformAPIClient.get_submissions(0, 50, None, None)

    for submission in submissions:
        result = jotformAPIClient.delete_submission(submission["id"])
        print result

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

First the JotformAPIClient class is included from the jotform-api-python/jotForm.py file. This class provides access to JotForm's API. You have to create an API client instance with your API key. In case of an exception (wrong authentication etc.), you can catch it or let it fail with a fatal error.
