Normally, prefilled url of google form can only be generated by author.
With this tool, you can paste any google form link, and generate a prefilled url.
Open the source code for the Google form page in the browser, there is an array that contains information for all the questions.
Moreover, there is a question type indicated by a number.
| Number | Type |
|---|---|
| 0 | Short Question |
| 1 | Paragraph |
| 2 | Radio button |
| 3 | Pull-down |
| 4 | Checkbox |
| 5 | Line |
| 6 | Unknown |
| 7 | Grid (Both single or multiple selection) |
| 8 | Section Head |
| 9 | Date |
| 10 | Time |
To construct a prefilled url that contains the options, here is the format.
Example: https:// docs.google.com/forms/d/1S...Zo/viewform?&entry.1068212324=Option 1&entry.316611086=01:51
Add query parameters right after the "viewform"
entry.1068212324=Option 1
The value following "entry." is the question id. It will be different for each question.
The value following "=" is the option value. It works when putting the whole string on it, include the space character.
- Since the Google form page does not include the CORS header (Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *), it cannot be fetch directly in the browser.
I have implemented a proxy to achieve CORS anywhere with this docker image redocly/cors-anywhere.
- If the question contains file upload, or it requires login to fill the form, this tool does not work.
