Thanks Yaw! I decided to go with the publish functionality through
aggregate.
Now when I click publish, my server never receives anything. I'm using the
tiny python server that you wrote which prints post requests to the
console. It's running on my laptop, but I have verified that I can reach it
from my other computer. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi Erik,
These sorts of emails should probably go to the developer mailing list.
If you want to connect ODK Collect to X, the OpenRosa Submission API
and the OpenRosa Form Discovery API are what you are looking for. You
can find those APIs at
https://bitbucket.org/javarosa/javarosa/wiki/OpenRosaAPI. Be sure to
also read
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/opendatakit-developers/HJzxsxQHh8U/cjegKd7Ln5wJ
for some of the recent gotchas.
If you are running on a Tomcat server (not Google App Engine), you
have access to the underlying MySQL or PostgreSQL tables in ODK
Aggregate. The structure of those tables are documented at
https://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/wiki/AggregateDatabaseStructure.
Note this is a fragile way to pull data from Aggregate because table
structure could change between versions. Moreover, changing any of
this data could corrupt your Aggregate install. A better approach is
to use ODK Aggregate's many publishers (e.g., JSON) or the
Briefcase-Aggregate API at
https://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/wiki/BriefcaseAggregateAPI.
Those publishers and APIs are your only option if you use Google App
Engine.
Finally, you should also take a look at http://formhub.org. It's an
ODK-backend built on Django. It's running as a single cloud-hosted
service, but you can also host it yourself on your own infrastructure.

Hello!
I'm trying to collect data with OpenDataKit Collect and store the
results in
a Python Django application.
I have the Collect App pointed to my server's IP address, but the
responses
I receive don't contain any form information, and it seems to want
specific
responses from Aggregate that I haven't been able to spoof. Is there an
API
that describes how Collect interfaces with Aggregate so that my django
app
can interface in the same way?
As a backup option, I could keep Aggregate, and then interface my django
app
with Aggregate, possibly by reading the generated MySQL tables. Is there
any
documentation on how those tables are created and structured?
Any other suggestions on the easiest way to get responses into Django
would
be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
