### export a csv or excel file of respondents?

## Why it happens

Stack Overflow question (score 3, has accepted answer): Is it possible to export a csv or excel file through the SurveyMonkey API? Or is it necessary to page through the json get_responses and compile that list manually? Since you can export excel and csv reports through in the SurveyMonkey interface, it would be nice to have that functionality in the API.
