Do you know of any online solutions for creating forms (open-source if possible) that have an API for generating unique links to the same form? @opensource

@testman I mean, I would like to generate, outside CryptPad (a script for example), a unique link to a form.

If you're just looking for a unique, you could just generate a UUID and postpend it to the base URL, couldn't you?

"https: // mysite.com/forms/e9be2c1b-7c23-4991-804b-24476c30681b"

The question is why?

  • dont show the people the real URL? Then you need many domains
  • just include a traceable number, to evaluate the origin of the participant?

I may not be fully understanding your use case, but Baserow has forms and is API-first. It sounds like it would do it, if I'm understanding correctly.

It's open source and has both hosted and self-hosted versions.
