from bullet_train import BulletTrain;

bt = BulletTrain(environment_id="<YOUR_ENVIRONMENT_KEY>")

if bt.has_feature("header", '<My User Id>'):
  if bt.feature_enabled("header"):
    # Show my awesome cool new feature to the world

if bt.has_feature("header"):
  if bt.feature_enabled("header"):
    # Show my awesome cool new feature to the world

value = bt.get_value("header", '<My User Id>')

value = bt.get_value("header")

bt.set_trait("accept-cookies", "true", "[e-mail]"))
bt.get_trait("accept-cookies", "[e-mail]"))

Available Functions

Function	Description
has_feature(key)	Get the value of a particular feature e.g. bt.has_feature("powerUserFeature") // true
has_feature(key, user_id)	Get the value of a particular feature for a user e.g. bt.has_feature("powerUserFeature", 1234) // true
get_value(key)	Get the value of a particular feature e.g. bt.get_value("font_size") // 10
get_value(key, userId)	Get the value of a particular feature for a specified user e.g. bt.get_value("font_size", 1234) // 15
get_flags()	Trigger a manual fetch of the environment features, returns a list of flag objects, see below for returned data
get_flags_for_user(1234)	Trigger a manual fetch of the environment features with a given user id, returns a list of flag objects, see below for returned data

Identifying users

Identifying users allows you to target specific users from the Bullet Train dashboard. You can include an optional user identifier as part of the has_feature and get_value methods to retrieve unique user flags and variables.
