Hello everybody,

How can I pass CloudResearch (MTurk Prime) parameters to the oTree data file (like HIT ID, MTurk ID, etc.)? I saw various posts about this on the old google groups forum. I have tried to get some of the suggestions to work but I failed. One reason is that my coding abilities are limited (this is why I would also prefer to have a streamlined solution) and two, is that most of the GitHub links seem to be expired.

Would be great if someone can help.
thanks,
Frieder

My recommended solution is to use this: https://github.com/oTree-org/extra-url-params

Thanks for your reply.

However, the github post is a bit abstract regarding my coding experience. Please correct me in the following assumptions.
 - cloning means replace the folders in my otree directory with the github folders. What is the main.py folder? I cannot find it.
 - go in the command prompt to the directory of my otree project and run: pip3 install -r requirements.txt
 - what is meant by "do uvicorn main:app --port 8500"? run this also in the command prompt?
 - what is meant by "deploy to heroku" 
         heroku create
        git push heroku master
        heroku open
 - should I run this in the command prompt, too?
 
 Thanks in advance for your help,
 Frieder
