Test the API response for an interactive experiment
After you compose the API response of your interactive experiment, you can use the Preview API button to test it. You can verify if the API retrieves the correct attributes in response to the experiment you are running against a selected guest.
To test the API response:
-
In the API editor, click Preview API.
-
In the Test Condition dialog, under the Guest option, click the search field to find the guest you want to test against. You can do this in several ways:
-
Enter the email address or guest reference of the visitor or customer, then select the guest from the search results.
-
Use Quick Select to automatically choose a Visitor or a Customer.
-
To access recently searched guests, click the Recent option and select a guest from the list.
-
To access bookmarked guests, click the Bookmarks option and select a guest from the list.
The guest request is displayed showing the available guest attributes to include in the API response. This is especially useful if you're including guest attributes as parameters in the API response, and want to verify that you're entering the correct path.
-
-
Optionally, click the Experience request option to select a specific point of sale and add any necessary headers and parameters for your test.
-
Click Test.
-
On the Response tab, verify that the API response includes all required attributes, such as the guest's currency and point of sale. This response is what Sitecore Personalize returns based on the experiment running against the selected guest.
-
To test other variants of the experiment, use the drop-down list to select the variant you want to test, then repeat the previous steps.
