Accessing Forms Quiz Score in Power Automate (Forms API, Sync)

Posted on by 2

We've been utilizing the Forms API to download the Excel file and retrieve user scores in Power Automate, since the standard response (Get Response Details) connection doesn't provide the user's score. Lately, we've faced issues with this API; it used to operate with Power Automate but hasn't been working for the past week.

 

Connector: Send an HTTP request to SharePoint

API: https://forms.office.com /formapi/DownloadExcelFile.ashx?formid=XXXX

Error: Required user login

 

{
  "status": 401,
  "message": {
    "error": {
      "code": "701",
      "message": "Required user login."
    }
  },
  "source": "https://forms.office.com/formapi/DownloadExcelFile.ashx?formid=XXXXXXX",
  "errors": []
}

 

We attempted to use the Forms synchronized Excel file from SharePoint, but it only updates with the actual form data when accessed through a browser.

    It looks like setting up new SharePoint connection references fixes the problem.
