Abstract: suso provides a Stata interface to the World Bank Survey Solutions API, letting users manage the full survey lifecycle from a do-file rather than the web interface. It covers assignments, interviews (the quality-control workflow of approving, rejecting, commenting, and reassigning), questionnaires, data exports, maps, users, supervisors, workspaces, server settings, and statistics. List endpoints load directly into a Stata dataset with automatic pagination; a single command starts, monitors, and downloads (and optionally unzips) an export; and one command backs up an entire workspace. Destructive operations like deleting workspaces require explicit confirmation and are written to an audit log. The package is self-contained: a bundled, dependency-free Java backend performs the authenticated HTTPS calls using the Java runtime that ships with Stata, so no R or Python installation is required.
