Running Inquisit in sojump

Hello forum users,
I hope I can get some advice on the following issue.
I've contacted Sojump (Chinese equivalent of Mturk) to inquire about possibilities to distribute my inquisit web survey among respondents in China. Sojump appeared to be unable to run my study. They mentioned they need port/link-information (I'm not sure what that means). Does anybody knows what they mean by this, and what information to give them?
Another options might be that inquisit is blocked by the Chinese firewall, does anybody has information about this?
Thank you for your response.
Best, Koen

I'm not sure what they mean by port/link information either, but I'm going to go ahead and guess that they mean the URL to your experiment's launch page as well as port 80 (for HTTP) and port 443 (for HTTPS).

As far as I am aware, the Great Firewall does not block access to Inquisit Web experiments; If the sojump support staff can run any of the web demos available in the library, your study should be accessible as well.

Thank you for your response.
I've send both port numbers to Sojump, they replied they need the API of Inquisit as well. As an illustration they send me the attached print screen.
Are you able to give me inquisits' IPA?
Best, Koen

What they apparently want is (1) the URL to your experiment's launch page (you would already know that; I would not), and (2) how info (e.g. subject identifier) can be forwarded to it. The latter is covered in the "How to interoperate Inquisit with online survey packages" topic in the documentation. There is no API beyond that.
