Find IDs for API calls

Troubleshooting and using Optimizely Experimentation or Optimizely Personalization REST APIs requires access to various IDs.

For example, masking descriptive names in Optimizely Web Experimentation, Optimizely Performance Edge, or Optimizely Personalization prevents 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 to troubleshoot.

Based on what type of project you have, you can use the API Names tab to find:

  • Account ID (for the specific experiment or campaign).
  • Experiment or Campaign IDs.
  • Variation IDs.
  • Audience IDs.
  • Page IDs.
  • Event IDs.
  • Project IDs.
  • Flag IDs.
  • Rule IDs.
  • Environment Keys.

For information about Account IDs, see Access the Account ID and multi-account login.
