Hi! I'd like to view the seed for an experiment so that I can use it to backfill some missing data (we lost assignment events) using python. I wanted to do this without connecting to the API. Is there some way to view this seed in the Growthbook web user interface? Or retrieve the file which I see changes to under the audit log?

Hi Andy
the seed is there
if you go to edit the experiment
the other way to see it - and easier way - is to load the SDK connection endpoint
it should be in the JSON response

Thanks Graham, I don't see "Edit Experiment" - I see options for "Make Changes", and editing phases & status. I can see the experiment key, but not the seed. Can you point me at the correct bit of the UX?
f
is that from a feature flag?
b
This is the Growthbook UX
f
yes, I understand
but the experiment, was it launched from a feature flag rule, or as a visual experiment?
b
We're using feature flags
f
if you click 'make change'
one of those forms will show the seed
but the easiest way is to check the SDK payload

Not the easiest for me 🙂 as I'd need to sort out the API access - I can ask my engineering colleagues to help with that, but it would be quicker/easier for me to see it in the UX. I tried each option under option under "Make Changes" and don't see the seed.

the SDK endpoint is not a privileged endpoint
you can go to SDK configuration
pick the SDK
and then you'll see the endpoint url
just open that in a browser
and find the flag name
