GET parameters in the URL

You can use GET parameters to add attributes to the form URL. Using the GET parameters, you can automatically fill in the fields of the form that you publish by link or embed on the page using an iframe, for example:

Example of pre-filling a text field

To set up pre-filling of form fields:

Get the question ID and response ID (for multiple-choice questions).
In the form URL, add a question mark (?) followed by the question and answer IDs. The parameter format depends on the question type.

Examples of filling in different types of questions

Specify your parameters in the form URL after the question mark ?:

For questions with an input field, such as Short text or Email:
```
<question_ID>=<response_text>
```
If there are multiple words in the response text, replace the spaces with a + sign. For example:
```
https://forms.yandex.com/u/5e2ac2d850bdb705********/?answer_short_text_1685088=Planet+Earth
```
For questions with response options, such as One answer or Multiple answers:
```
<question_ID>=<response_ID>
```
For example:
- To choose one response option:
```
https://forms.yandex.com/u/5e2ac2d850bdb705********/?answer_choices_1685184=1958524
```
- To add a second response option, add the & symbol and specify the question ID and the second response option ID again:
```
https://forms.yandex.com/u/5e2ac2d850bdb705********/?answer_choices_1685184=1958524&answer_choices_1685184=1958526
```

For Date questions:

<question_ID>=YYYY-MM-DD

For example:

https://forms.yandex.com/u/5e2ac2d850bdb705********/?answer_date_1685200=2020-01-27

For Yes/No questions:

<question_ID>=True

For example:

https://forms.yandex.com/u/5e2ac2d850bdb705********/?answer_boolean_1685199=True

For Rate on a scale questions.
Choose a response by one criterion:

<question_ID>=<response_ID>

Choose a response by multiple criteria:

<question_ID>[<X_criterion_ID>]=<X_response_ID>&<question_ID>[<Y_criterion_ID>]=<Y_response_ID>

For example:

https://forms.yandex.com/u/5e2ac2d850bdb705********/?answer_choices_1686274=231035_231038

https://forms.yandex.com/u/5e2ac2d850bdb705********/?answer_choices_1686274[231034]=231034_231037&answer_choices_1686274[231035]=231035_231038

How to fill in multiple form fields

To fill in multiple form fields at once, add multiple GET parameters separated by &.

Note

URLs may contain no more than 32000 characters. The remaining data is discarded. Keep this in mind when making long queries.

Configuring pre-filling for multi-page forms

You can create a direct link that opens a specific page of a multi-page form and inserts values into the required fields on previous pages. This will make it easier for users to navigate forms with many pages and fields.

To configure pre-filling for multi-page forms:

In the form URL, add a question mark ? followed by the page parameter and specify the page number.
```
page=<page_number>
```
For example:
```
https://forms.yandex.ru/u/5e2ac2d850bdb705********/?page=2
```
After the page parameter, add answers to the required questions from the previous pages. You may omit answers to optional questions.

For example:
```
https://forms.yandex.ru/u/5e2ac2d850bdb705********/?page=2&answer_one_answer_9008952445400254=1753190690595&answer_choices_815037=63064501
```
