You will have two choices for authentication, described here.

This webservice permits you to download information about WebQ surveys and the results they gather. There is also support for authorizing new participants to paricipate in surveys. (Note: the API address shown to the left is a "standardized" URI, to conform to the (strawman) naming convention for documentation URIs. It will automatically redirect to the actual docuementation, which is at http://solstice.eplt.washington.edu/WebQ_REST_API)
