Is there a way to create experiments and attribute targets in growthbook via an API? https://docs.growthbook.io/app/features#targeting-attributes (I'm a total noob doing some feasibility research)

I believe at the moment there's no API. Might be possible to write into the DB if you're self hosting, but no idea how complex the structure is

Growthbook does have an API that is consumed by fornt-end. You can see definition of POST experiment here: https://github.com/growthbook/growthbook/blob/main/packages/back-end/src/controllers/experiments.ts#L379 Although there is no support for external API auth keys and current ones have only 1day expiration time so you would have to probable create a dummy user and that credentials to reauthenticate everyday. A bit clunky but definitely possible

Ok so could I create an experiment and add tracking attributes via the API?

yes, of course you can. Make sure you send the data in a correct format: https://github.com/growthbook/growthbook/blob/main/packages/back-end/src/controllers/experiments.ts#L428 You can also debug API request sent when creating an experiment manually on the frontend to help you with sending data in a correct format.

@future-candle-10380 @busy-horse-73824 coming from the future, I'd say an official write API would be a great addition. Any solid plans to make that happen?

We don't work at Growthbook 🙂 might be worth posting a new thread
