Generate ExternalQuestion

Description

Generate an ExternalQuestion data structure for use in the ‘Question’ parameter of the CreateHIT operation.

Usage

GenerateExternalQuestion(url, frame.height = 400)

Arguments

url

A character string containing the URL (served over HTTPS) of a HIT file stored anywhere other than the MTurk server.

frame.height

A character string containing the integer value (in pixels) of the frame height for the ExternalQuestion iframe.

Details

An ExternalQuestion is a HIT stored anywhere other than the MTurk server that is displayed to workers within an HTML iframe of the specified height. The URL should point to a page — likely an HTML form — that can retrieve several URL GET parameters for “AssignmentId” and “WorkerId”, which are attached by MTurk when opening the URL.

Note: url must be HTTPS.

Value

A list containing xml.parsed, an XML data structure, string, xml formatted as a character string, and url.encoded, character string containing a URL query parameter-formatted HTMLQuestion data structure for use in the question parameter of CreateHIT.
