- Find an experiment ID, campaign ID, audience ID, variation ID or event ID
- Identify an audience, campaign or page by its ID when descriptive names are masked (In Web and Performance Edge)
- Troubleshoot using the JavaScript API, console log or network panel
Sometimes, it is useful to know various experiment or campaign IDs for troubleshooting or when using an Optimizely API.
For example, masking descriptive names in Optimizely Web or Performance Edge prevents you (or anyone else) from seeing the name of a variation or campaign in the console. Instead, the JavaScript API, console log, and network panel return a masked identifier: a string of numbers. This is great for privacy but challenging for troubleshooting.
Additionally, you will need certain IDs when using the Optimizely APIs. Refer to the API Reference documentation for more information.
Use the API Names panel to find:
- Account ID (for the specific Experiment or Campaign)
- Experiment or Campaign IDs
- Variation IDs
- Audience IDs
- Page IDs
- Event IDs
- Project IDs
For information about Account IDs, refer to the documentation on Accessing the Account ID and Multi-account login in Optimizely.

Full Stack Flags release
To view the various IDs associated with a Full Stack Flags release experiment, you will have to view the Account's datafile. There is currently no way to view the Account ID for a Full Stack project in the Optimizely application user interface.
To access the project's datafile:
- Navigate to the Flag project you are targeting.
- Go to the Settings dashboard and navigate to the Environments tab.
- Select the .json link for the specific Environment you want to view (Development or Production).
- This will open your datafile in a new tab.
