This project automates the process of submitting data to KoBoToolbox by reading data from an Excel file, creating XML entries, and posting them to a KoBoToolbox server using HTTP POST requests.

The script is designed to read data from an Excel file, convert each row of data into an XML entry following a specific structure, and then send these XML entries to a KoBoToolbox server. This automation facilitates efficient data submission, especially when dealing with a large volume of data.

Clone the repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/nawaaugustine/KoBo-XML-Upload.git

Navigate to the project directory:

cd KoBo XML Upload

Install the required dependencies using pip:

pip install -r requirements.txt

1. Update the config.json file with the necessary information including the path to the Excel file, your KoBoToolbox API token, and project UUID.

   {
       "parent_data_path": "path/to/your/excel/file.xlsx",
       "api_token": "your-api-token",
       "project_uuid": "your-project-uuid"
   }

2. Run the script:

python main.py

The config.json file contains the following fields:

• parent_data_path: The path to the Excel file containing the data to be submitted.
• api_token: Your KoBoToolbox API token.
• project_uuid: The UUID of your KoBoToolbox project.

Make sure to add config.json to your .gitignore file to prevent sharing sensitive data.
