Hi Dushmantha,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I'm an AI assistant here to assist you.

According to the available information, you can download submission data from Jotform Inbox or Jotform Tables, and you can also download attachments from submissions.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Open your form in Jotform Inbox or go to your form in Workspace and click Submissions.
2. Select the entries you want to work with, or choose all entries.
3. Click Download or Download All, then choose the format you need, such as CSV, Excel, or PDF.
4. Choose Download Attachments if you need the uploaded files from the submissions.

You can see the video below to directly see the part being explained. At 0:13, the video shows how to navigate to the form and open its submissions. At 0:28, it shows the submissions table where you can filter and choose what to download. At 0:37, it explains the filter options for narrowing down the submissions before downloading.

Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

I don't want to manually download, I want to access the submit data via a javascript as a custom widget.

Hi Dushmantha,

To create a custom widget in Jotform, you can use the Jotform API Widgets page. The available information says you can check the sample widgets there and follow the instructions to create your own widget.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Go to the Jotform API Widgets page.
2. Review the sample widgets on that page to see how they are built.
3. Build your widget using programming knowledge, or with a developer if needed.
4. Use JavaScript, CSS, and HTML to create the widget if that fits your setup.

The available information also says that if you want to capture the page URL where the form is embedded, you can use the Get Form Page URL widget. It is added from the Widgets tab in Form Builder, and it captures the page URL automatically.

If your goal is to work with submission data in a widget, the knowledge base only confirms the custom widget creation path and the page URL widget. It does not include instructions for reading all submitted data through JavaScript inside a custom widget.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi Dushmantha,

You can access your submissions through API using the following HTTP request:

curl -X GET "https://api.jotform.com/form/{formID}?apiKey={apiKey}"

Your API key can be found in your account's API settings. We also have a guide on How to Create Jotform API Keys. You'll also find our API documentation helpful.
