*A client to the [LimeSurvey Remote Control API 2](https://manual.limesurvey.org/RemoteControl_2_API), written in modern Python.*

</div>

<!-- begin-short -->

## Features

- Supports the full RPC API via the [`Session` class](https://citric.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_api/citric/session/index.html#citric.session.Session).
- Best effort to implement all the RPC methods in the [`Client` class](https://citric.readthedocs.io/en/stable/_api/citric/index.html#citric.Client). See the [API coverage page](https://citric.readthedocs.io/en/stable/rpc_coverage.html) for details.
- Easily export survey data to CSV files, [Pandas DataFrames](https://citric.readthedocs.io/en/stable/how-to.html#export-responses-to-a-pandas-dataframe) and [DuckDB databases](https://citric.readthedocs.io/en/stable/how-to.html#export-responses-to-a-duckdb-database-and-analyze-with-sql).
- Easily [download survey files](https://citric.readthedocs.io/en/stable/how-to.html#get-files-uploaded-to-a-survey-and-move-them-to-s3) (e.g. images, audio, etc.) to a local directory.
- Tested against LimeSurvey 6.0.0+ and 5.0.0+ versions.
- Experimental support for the new [REST API](https://manual.limesurvey.org/REST_API).

## Installation

```sh
# PyPI

)

# Print the LimeSurvey version
