The following methods are required to create variables for App Content Optimizer depending on the data type.

Retrieving content with stored data

The Content Optimizer feature provides methods that store the last retrieved data on the device. When using these methods, the SDK retrieves and returns the most recently fetched value, reducing the need for repeated network requests. This approach enhances performance and ensures consistent content availability across sessions.

If you prioritize efficiency and reliability, you can use these methods to maintain seamless content delivery without requiring a new data request each time.

Get string data

This method allows you to retrieve string-type data.

Method signature

+(NSString *)getContentStringWithName:(NSString *)name defaultString:(NSString *)defaultString dataType:(ContentOptimizerDataType)dataType;

Method examples

[Insider getContentStringWithName:@"variableName" defaultString:@"defaultValue" dataType:ContentOptimizerDataTypeElement];

Insider.getContentString(withName: "variableName", defaultString: "defaultValue", dataType: ContentOptimizerDataType.element)

Get boolean data

This method allows you to retrieve Boolean data.

Method signature

+(BOOL)getContentBoolWithName:(NSString *)name defaultBool:(BOOL)defaultBool dataType:(ContentOptimizerDataType)dataType;

Method examples

 [Insider getContentBoolWithName:@"variableName" defaultBool:true dataType:ContentOptimizerDataTypeElement];

Insider.getContentBool(withName: "variableName", defaultBool: true, dataType: ContentOptimizerDataType.element)

Get integer data

This method allows you to retrieve integer-type data.

Method signature

+(int)getContentIntWithName:(NSString *)name defaultInt:(int)defaultInt dataType:(ContentOptimizerDataType)dataType;

Method examples

[Insider getContentIntWithName:@"variableName" defaultInt:10 dataType:ContentOptimizerDataTypeElement];

Insider.getContentInt(withName: "variableName", defaultInt: 10, dataType: ContentOptimizerDataType.element)

Retrieving content without stored data

For use cases that require real-time content updates, alternative methods can be used that always request the latest data from the backend rather than relying on cached values. These methods ensure that the most up-to-date information is retrieved at the time of request, making them ideal for time-sensitive campaigns or dynamic content updates.

By using this approach, you gain full control over content freshness, ensuring that the latest data is always reflected in your applications. If real-time data is unavailable at the time of the request, the specified default value will be returned to maintain a smooth user experience.

Get string data

This method allows you to retrieve string type of data.

Method signature

+(NSString *)getContentStringWithoutCache:(NSString *)name defaultString:(NSString *)defaultString dataType:(ContentOptimizerDataType)dataType;

Method examples

[Insider getContentStringWithoutCache:@"variableName" defaultString:@"defaultValue" dataType:ContentOptimizerDataTypeElement];

Insider.getContentStringWithoutCache(withName: "variableName", defaultString: "defaultValue", dataType: ContentOptimizerDataType.element)

Get boolean data

This method allows you to retrieve a Boolean type of data.

Method signature

+(BOOL)getContentBoolWithoutCache:(NSString *)name defaultBool:(BOOL)defaultBool dataType:(ContentOptimizerDataType)dataType;

Method examples

[Insider getContentBoolWithoutCache:@"variableName" defaultBool:true dataType:ContentOptimizerDataTypeElement];

Insider.getContentBoolWithoutCache(withName: "variableName", defaultBool: true, dataType: ContentOptimizerDataType.element)

Get integer data

This method allows you to retrieve integer-type data.

Method signature

+(int)getContentIntWithoutCache:(NSString *)name defaultInt:(int)defaultInt dataType:(ContentOptimizerDataType)dataType;

Method examples

[Insider getContentIntWithoutCache:@"variableName" defaultInt:10 dataType:ContentOptimizerDataTypeElement];

Insider.getContentIntWithoutCache(withName: "variableName", defaultInt: 10, dataType: ContentOptimizerDataType.element)
