Reset an A/B test

POST
https://api.getsitecontrol.com/v1/sites/{site_id}/widgets/ab-tests/{test_id}/reset
curl --request POST \
--url https://api.getsitecontrol.com/v1/sites/1/widgets/ab-tests/1/reset \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'

Starts the results over: every widget’s counts go to zero, added_at moves to now and visitors are drawn anew. The widgets and their on/off state stay. The admin’s Reset results.

FieldDescription
site_id
required
Site Id
integer
test_id
required
Test Id

A/B test id from List A/B tests

integer

A/B test id from List A/B tests

FieldDescription
Idempotency-Key
Idempotency-Key

Makes a retry of a POST safe: a repeat with the same key, body and GSC-Version returns the stored response with Idempotency-Replayed: true instead of running again. The key protects against repeated execution while the key store works. Saving the change and storing the response under the key are not atomic: if the process or the key store fails between them, the change is kept, the key is released after 15 minutes and a retry runs the request again. After a timeout or a 5xx, read the resource to check the result before retrying. 5xx and 429 responses and responses over 256 KB are not stored, so a repeat runs the request again. A key is kept for 24 hours. The same key with another body or version is 422; a repeat while the first request runs is 409.
