Fetch xids from conversation ID directly

😬

I'm not sure how long this will be available, as it's pretty sensitive information to be available from public data like a conversation ID, but for now it's available

Example Usage

1. Vote in a polis conversation that's managed via xid passed into embedded iframe.
   • demo: https://patcon.github.io/universal-polis-wrapper/#wFXxYRdJ/2demo
   • source code: https://github.com/patcon/universal-polis-wrapper
2. Download the csv as per below (this CSV maps participant IDs to the xid they used)

   •  # See: https://pol.is/2demo
      curl https://pol.is/api/v3/conversationUuid?conversation_id=2demo
      # {"conversation_uuid":"9a68ac97-7972-4726-be06-647aa65eaf8d"}
      
      curl https://pol.is/api/v3/xid/9a68ac97-7972-4726-be06-647aa65eaf8d
      # downloads CSV
     

3. in typeform, download your results data. It will also have the xid present, allowing you to connect participant vote data to typeform results

This is more direct than the existing method, and doesn't require keeping a list of known xids:

I never understood what are xids?

Updated the above to try to illustrate it better. But it's basically just a key to use in a join table with any external system (in this case, typeform)
