Steps
Authenticate with your Jotform API key
POST to /form with a properties object (title, etc.) to create a new base form and capture the returned form id
PUT to /form/{id}/questions with an array of question objects, each specifying a type (e.g. control_textbox, control_radio, control_dropdown) and its own properties (label, required, validation)
Set field-level properties like required=Yes or a validation rule (e.g. numeric-only) directly on the question object rather than as separate calls
POST to /form/{id}/properties to adjust form-wide settings, such as disabling the form after a certain date
GET /form/{id}/questions afterward to confirm the saved question order, types, and properties match what was submitted
Known gotchas
Each question 'type' (control_textbox, control_radio, control_matrix, etc.) has its own distinct set of valid properties -- consult the field-specific properties reference rather than reusing one schema for all types
Adding a radio button or checkbox question requires supplying its options/choices within the question properties, not as a separate options endpoint
Programmatically built forms should be reviewed in the visual builder at least once, since some conditional-logic and payment-field configurations are easier to get wrong via raw API payloads
