string MinRelevance [get]
 **Expert option** Specifies the threshold of how much relevant must the recommended items be to the user. Possible values one of: "low", "medium", "high". The default value is "low", meaning that the system attempts to recommend number of items equal to count at any cost. If there are not enough data (such as interactions or item properties), this may even lead to bestseller-based recommendations to be appended to reach the full count. This behavior may be suppressed by using "medium" or "high" values. In such case, the system only recommends items of at least the requested relevance, and may return less than count items when there is not enough data to fulfill it. More...

 **Expert option** If your users browse the system in real-time, it may easily happen that you wish to offer them recommendations multiple times. Here comes the question: how much should the recommendations change? Should they remain the same, or should they rotate? Recombee API allows you to control this per-request in backward fashion. You may penalize an item for being recommended in the near past. For the specific user, rotationRate=1 means maximal rotation, rotationRate=0 means absolutely no rotation.

Detailed Description

Recommend items to user

Based on user's past interactions (purchases, ratings, etc.) with the items, recommends top-N items that are most likely to be of high value for a given user. The most typical use cases are recommendations at homepage, in some "Picked just for you" section or in email. The returned items are sorted by relevance (first item being the most relevant). Besides the recommended items, also a unique recommId is returned in the response. It can be used to:

Construct the request

Parameters
userIdID of the user for whom personalized recommendations are to be generated.
countNumber of items to be recommended (N for the top-N recommendation).
scenarioScenario defines a particular application of recommendations. It can be for example "homepage", "cart" or "emailing". You can set various settings to the scenario in the Admin UI. You can also see performance of each scenario in the Admin UI separately, so you can check how well each application performs. The AI which optimizes models in order to get the best results may optimize different scenarios separately, or even use different models in each of the scenarios.
cascadeCreateIf the user does not exist in the database, returns a list of non-personalized recommendations and creates the user in the database. This allows for example rotations in the following recommendations for that user, as the user will be already known to the system.
returnPropertiesWith returnProperties=true, property values of the recommended items are returned along with their IDs in a JSON dictionary. The acquired property values can be used for easy displaying of the recommended items to the user. Example response:
