More complete documentation at https://developers.ngpvan.com/.\r\n\r\nFor security purposes, the fully API key has been redacted, so none of these API calls will work as-is. Before using this collection, please find/replace \"****c70b\" with your actual API key.\r\n\r\nAlso note that some of these API calls have dependencies on earlier API calls - for example, the activist code and survey question in \"Apply canvass responses\" are drawn from the response in \"Get activist codes\" and \"Get survey questions\", respectively. The responses in the \"Get activist codes\" and \"Get survey questions\" API calls are in turn dependent on configuration in the VAN user interface - so different API keys will have different responses. These dependencies are noted in each API call's description.",
