<a name="CLTReference_ApproveQualificationRequestsCommand"></a>

## Description
<a name="w2aab9b7b2"></a>

 The `approveQualificationRequests` command approves a list of Qualification requests. You can obtain the list from a call to [getQualificationRequests](CLTReference_GetQualificationRequestsCommand.md). 

 For information about Qualifications and Qualification requests, see the [Amazon Mechanical Turk Developer Guide](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSMechTurk/latest/AWSMechanicalTurkRequester/). 

## Arguments
<a name="w2aab9b7b4"></a>

 The following table describes the arguments for the `approveQualificationRequests` command. 


| Name | Description | Required | 
| --- | --- | --- | 
|  `-approvefile [filename] `  |   Specifies a tab delimited text file that contains the list of Qualification requests to approve. For information about this file, see *The Qualification approve file* in [Files Used by the Command Line Tools](CLTFilesArticle.md).   Condition: Required if the `qualRequest` argument is not specified.  Example: `-approvefile qualification_requests_toapprove.txt`  |  Conditional  | 
|  `-force`  |   Specifies *not* to prompt for manual confirmation before approving the requests. Only advanced developers should use this argument.  Example: `-force`  |  No  | 
|  `-help` or `-h`  |   Displays the help for this operation.  Example: `-help`  |  No  | 
|  `-qualRequest [Qualification request ID]`  |   The Qualification request IDs to approve. Multiple Qualification request IDs are comma separated.   Condition: Required if the `approvefile` argument is not specified.   Example: `-qualRequest TA3ZJBYP2Y7ZJSX2BBN0TZ8ZTM4F6H4ZVQ4DE8FZ`   |  Conditional  | 
|  `-sandbox`  |   Runs this command in the Amazon Mechanical Turk sandbox for testing. This argument takes precedence even if you specify the production web site in your `mturk.properties` file.   Example:`-sandbox`   |  No  | 
|  `-score [value]`  |   The default score to assign for each approved Qualification request. Any scores defined in the `approvefile` override this default.  Example: `-score 100`  |  No  |
