How can I update user profile data using the Statsig HTTP API?

Date of slack thread: 5/28/24

Anonymous: Hello, I’m reviewing the StatSig Docs in the HTTP API section. I am not seeing an endpoint to update user profile data. Is this type of API call not available?

Matt Garnes (Statsig): Hey Kyle, do you mean the user object properties that are set when initializing the SDK?

If so, those can’t be updated later, they are actually appended as metadata to each logged event/gate check/experiment check, etc that your application makes. So there isn’t actually a user profile in the sense that can be updated. This is something we might change in the future, since there is clearly a benefit if this were possible. I hope this helps!

We evaluated Optimizely, LaunchDarkly, Split, and Eppo, but ultimately selected Statsig due to its comprehensive end-to-end integration. We wanted a complete solution rather than a partial one, including everything from the stats engine to data ingestion.
