Get data - Optimizely for Web

Returns an object exposing the static data fields. These fields are the same for all visitors on all page loads until you modify your project.

Note: optimizely.get("data") is a performance-intensive operation; as such you should use it sparingly. For example, if you need to get multiple pieces of data in the same function, call it once and reuse that reference:

var data = optimizely.get('data');
var experiment = data.experiments[myExperimentId];
var firstAudience = data.audiences[experiment.audienceIds[0]];

Syntax

data = window["optimizely"].get("data");

Parameters

Parameter	Child Attribute	Description
data string		The argument indicating to get data information. Required.

Return value

Parameter and Type	Child Attribute	Description
StaticData		The object contains the fields of the objects you've created using the Optimizely UI or REST API.
audiences object[Audience]	Child attribute of type StaticData	An object mapping an audience ID to an audience.

eventType string	Child attribute of type Event	The `eventType` of the event can be either `click` or `custom` to indicate that this event is a Click event or a Custom event. Click events are tied to a specific page and are automatically triggered when a click occurs on the element indicated by the `eventFilter.selector` value. Custom events need to be manually triggered by executing the event function.
eventFilter EventFilter or undefined	Child attribute of type Event	A filter that indicates when an event can automatically be triggered. This is currently only set for events with the eventType `click`. The filter value is `undefined` for events with the `eventType` value set to `custom`.

name string	Child attribute of type Event	A user-chosen name for an event.
pageId integer or undefined	Child attribute of type Event	A page ID that indicates the page object this event is related to. This event is only executed on the URLs set in the page object. The `pageId` field is always undefined for events with the eventType set to `custom`.

Description

A function to get the data object. The data object contains the fields of the objects you've created using the Optimizely UI or REST API. For example, if you create a new experiment using an audience, page and event, then you can expect to find all of those objects in the data object that's returned from this function.
