API Reference

This section lists all the available API endpoints, that allow you to manage item catalog, users, their interactions and get recommendations.

  • Version: 4.1.1

  • Base URL: Based on the region of your database

  • API consumes: application/json

  • API produces: application/json

  • Authentication: HMAC (already implemented in the SDKs)

Items

The following methods allow you to maintain the set of items in the catalog. The items are specified using their ids, which are unique string identifiers matching ^[a-zA-Z0-9_-:@.]+$, i.e., they may consist of digits, Latin letters, underscores, colons, minus signs, at signs, and dots.

Add Item

PUT
Add Item

See doc for client: Python Ruby Java Node.js PHP .NET

client.send(AddItem(item_id))
client.send(AddItem.new(itemId))
client.send(new AddItem(String itemId));
var recombee = require('recombee-api-client');
var rqs = recombee.requests;

client.send(new rqs.AddItem(itemId), callback);
<?php
$client->send(new AddItem($item_id));
?>
client.Send(AddItem(string itemId));
PUT /{databaseId}/items/{itemId}

Adds new item of the given itemId to the items catalog.

All the item properties for the newly created items are set to null.

Parameters

Parameter

string

Yes

ID of the item to be created.

Responses

Description

201

Successful operation.

400

The itemId does not match ^[a-zA-Z0-9_-:@.]+$.

409

The itemId is already present in the item catalog. In many cases, you may consider this code success – it only tells you that nothing has been written to the database.

Delete Item

DELETE
Delete Item

See doc for client: Python Ruby Java Node.js PHP .NET

client.send(DeleteItem(item_id))
client.send(DeleteItem.new(itemId))
client.send(new DeleteItem(String itemId));
var recombee = require('recombee-api-client');
var rqs = recombee.requests;

client.send(new rqs.DeleteItem(itemId), callback);
<?php
$client->send(new DeleteItem($item_id));
?>
client.Send(DeleteItem(string itemId));
DELETE /{databaseId}/items/{itemId}

Deletes an item of the given itemId from the catalog.

If there are any purchases, ratings, bookmarks, cart additions, or detail views of the item present in the database, they will be deleted in cascade as well. Also, if the item is present in some series, it will be removed from all the series where present.

If an item becomes obsolete/no longer available, it is meaningful to keep it in the catalog (along with all the interaction data, which are very useful), and only exclude the item from recommendations. In such a case, use ReQL filter instead of deleting the item completely.

Parameters

Item Properties

Item properties definition

Item properties are used for modeling your domain. The following methods allow the definition of item properties. The properties may be thought of as columns in a relational database table.

Add Item Property

PUT
Add Item Property

See doc for client: Python Ruby Java Node.js PHP .NET

client.send(AddItemProperty(property_name, type))
client.send(AddItemProperty.new(propertyName, type))
client.send(new AddItemProperty(String propertyName, String type));
var recombee = require('recombee-api-client');
var rqs = recombee.requests;

client.send(new rqs.AddItemProperty(propertyName, type), callback);
<?php
$client->send(new AddItemProperty($property_name, $type));
?>
client.Send(AddItemProperty(string propertyName, string type));
PUT /{databaseId}/items/properties/{propertyName}?type=<string>

Adding an item property is somehow equivalent to adding a column to the table of items. The items may be characterized by various properties of different types.

Parameters

Parameter

Type

Required

Since version

databaseId

path

string

Yes

ID of your database.

propertyName

Values of item properties

The following methods allow assigning property values to items in the catalog. Set values are examined by content-based algorithms and used for recommendations, especially in the case of cold-start items that have no interactions yet. Properties are also used in ReQL for filtering and boosting according to your business rules.

Set Item Values

POST
Set Item Values

See doc for client: Python Ruby Java Node.js PHP .NET

client.send(SetItemValues(item_id, values,
    # optional parameters:
    cascade_create=<boolean>
  )
)
client.send(SetItemValues.new(itemId, values, {
    # optional parameters:
    :cascade_create => <boolean>
  })
)
client.send(new SetItemValues(String itemId, Map<String, Object> values)
  .setCascadeCreate(boolean cascadeCreate)
);
var recombee = require('recombee-api-client');
var rqs = recombee.requests;

client.send(new rqs.SetItemValues(itemId, values, {
  // optional parameters:
  'cascadeCreate': <boolean>
}), callback);
<?php
$client->send(new SetItemValues($item_id, $values, [
    // optional parameters:
    'cascadeCreate' => <boolean>
  ])
);
?>
client.Send(SetItemValues(string itemId, Dictionary<string, object> values,
    // optional parameters:
    cascadeCreate: <bool>
  )
);
POST /{databaseId}/items/{itemId}

Sets/updates (some) property values of the given item. The properties (columns) must be previously created by Add item property.

Parameters

Parameter

Located in

Type

Required

Since version

databaseId

path

string

Yes

ID of your database.

itemId

path

string

Yes

ID of the item which will be modified.

body

object

Yes

The values for the individual properties.

Example of the body:

{
  "product_description": "4K TV with 3D feature",
  "categories":   ["Electronics", "Televisions"],
  "price_usd": 342,
  "in_stock_from": "2016-11-16T08:00Z",
  "image": "http://myexamplesite.com/products/4ktelevision3d/image.jpg",
  "other_images": ["http://myexamplesite.com/products/4ktelevision3d/image2.jpg",
                   "http://myexamplesite.com/products/4ktelevision3d/image3.jpg"]
}

Set item values can also cascade create the item if it’s not already present in the database.

For this functionality:

  • When using the client libraries: Set the optional cascadeCreate parameter to true, just like when creating an interaction.

  • When using directly REST API: Set special “property” !cascadeCreate.

    Example:

    {
      "product_description": "4K TV with 3D feature",
      "!cascadeCreate": true
    }
    

    Note the exclamation mark (!) at the beginning of the parameter’s name to distinguish it from item property names.

  )
);
PUT /{databaseId}/users/{targetUserId}/merge/{sourceUserId}?cascadeCreate=<boolean>

Merges interactions (purchases, ratings, bookmarks, detail views …) of two different users under a single user ID. This is especially useful for online e-commerce applications working with anonymous users identified by unique tokens such as the session ID. In such applications, it may often happen that a user owns a persistent account, yet accesses the system anonymously while, e.g., putting items into a shopping cart. At some point in time, such as when the user wishes to confirm the purchase, (s)he logs into the system using his/her username and password. The interactions made under anonymous session ID then become connected with the persistent account, and merging these two becomes desirable.

Merging happens between two users referred to as the target and the source. After the merge, all the interactions of the source user are attributed to the target user, and the source user is deleted.

API calls limit: 100 requests per minute. This limit can be increased for a database by the Recombee support.

User Properties

User properties definition

User properties are used for modeling users. The following methods allow the definition of user properties. The properties may be thought of as columns in a relational database table.

Add User Property

PUT
Add User Property

See doc for client: Python Ruby Java Node.js PHP .NET

client.send(AddUserProperty(property_name, type))
client.send(AddUserProperty.new(propertyName, type))
client.send(new AddUserProperty(String propertyName, String type));
var recombee = require('recombee-api-client');
var rqs = recombee.requests;

client.send(new rqs.AddUserProperty(propertyName, type), callback);
<?php
$client->send(new AddUserProperty($property_name, $type));
?>
client.Send(AddUserProperty(string propertyName, string type));
PUT /{databaseId}/users/properties/{propertyName}?type=<string>

Adding a user property is somehow equivalent to adding a column to the table of users. The users may be characterized by various properties of different types.

Required

Since version

databaseId

path

string

Yes

1.3.0

ID of your database.

propertyName

path

string

Yes

1.3.0

Name of the user property to be created. Currently, the following names are reserved: id, userid, case-insensitively. Also, the length of the property name must not exceed 63 characters.

type

query

string

Yes

1.3.0

Value type of the user property to be created. One of: int, double, string, boolean, timestamp, set.

  • int - Signed integer number.

  • double - Floating point number. It uses 64-bit base-2 format (IEEE 754 standard).

  • string - UTF-8 string.

  • boolean - true / false

  • timestamp - Value representing date and time.

  • set - Set of strings.

Responses

Response

Description

201

Successful operation.

400

Property name does not match ^[a-zA-Z0-9_-:]+$, or it is a reserved keyword (‘’id’’, ‘’userid’’), or its length exceeds 63 characters. Type information is missing, or the given type is invalid.

409

Property of the given name is already present in the database. In many cases, you may consider this code success – it only tells you that nothing has been written to the database.

Delete User Property

DELETE
Delete User Property

See doc for client: Python Ruby Java Node.js PHP .NET

client.send(DeleteUserProperty(property_name))
client.send(DeleteUserProperty.new(propertyName))
client.send(new DeleteUserProperty(String propertyName));
var recombee = require('recombee-api-client');
var rqs = recombee.requests;

client.send(new rqs.DeleteUserProperty(propertyName), callback);
<?php
$client->send(new DeleteUserProperty($property_name));
?>
client.Send(DeleteUserProperty(string propertyName));
DELETE /{databaseId}/users/properties/{propertyName}

Deleting a user property is roughly equivalent to removing a column from the table of users.

Values of user properties

The following methods allow assigning property values to the user. Set values are examined by content-based algorithms and used in building recommendations, especially for users that have only a few interactions (e.g., new users). Useful properties may be, for example, gender or region. The values can be used in filtering using the context_user ReQL function.

Set User Values

POST
Set User Values

See doc for client: Python Ruby Java Node.js PHP .NET

client.send(SetUserValues(user_id, values,
    # optional parameters:
    cascade_create=<boolean>
  )
)
client.send(SetUserValues.new(userId, values, {
    # optional parameters:
    :cascade_create => <boolean>
  })
)
client.send(new SetUserValues(String userId, Map<String, Object> values)
  .setCascadeCreate(boolean cascadeCreate)
);
var recombee = require('recombee-api-client');
var rqs = recombee.requests;

client.send(new rqs.SetUserValues(userId, values, {
  // optional parameters:
  'cascadeCreate': <boolean>
}), callback);
<?php
$client->send(new SetUserValues($user_id, $values, [
    // optional parameters:

  ])
);
?>
client.Send(SetUserValues(string userId, Dictionary<string, object> values,
    // optional parameters:
    cascadeCreate: <bool>
  )
);
POST /{databaseId}/users/{userId}

Sets/updates (some) property values of the given user. The properties (columns) must be previously created by Add user property.

Since version 1.3.0

Parameters

Parameter

Located in

Type

Required

Since version

databaseId

path

string

Yes

1.3.0

ID of your database.

userId

path

string

Yes

1.3.0

ID of the user which will be modified.

body

object

Yes

1.3.0

The values for the individual properties.

Example of the body:

{
  "country": "US",
  "sex": "F"
}

Set user values can also cascade create the user if it’s not already present in the database.

For this functionality:

  • When using the client libraries: Set the optional cascadeCreate parameter to true, just like when creating an interaction.

  • When using directly REST API: Set special “property” !cascadeCreate.

    Example:

    {
      "country": "US",
      "!cascadeCreate": true
    }
    

    Note the exclamation mark (!) at the beginning of the parameter’s name to distinguish it from item property names.

Based on the user’s past interactions (purchases, ratings, etc.) with the items, recommends top-N items that are most likely to be of high value for the given user.

The most typical use cases are recommendations on the homepage, in some “Picked just for you” section, or in email.

The returned items are sorted by relevance (the first item being the most relevant).

Besides the recommended items, also a unique recommId is returned in the response. It can be used to:

  • Let Recombee know that this recommendation was successful (e.g., user clicked one of the recommended items). See Reported metrics.

  • Get subsequent recommended items when the user scrolls down (infinite scroll) or goes to the next page. See Recommend Next Items.

It is also possible to use POST HTTP method (for example in the case of a very long ReQL filter) - query parameters then become body parameters.

Since version 2.0.0

Parameters

Parameter

Located in

Type

Required

Since version

databaseId

path

string

Yes

2.0.0

ID of your database.

userId

path

string

Yes

2.0.0

ID of the user for whom personalized recommendations are to be generated.

count

query

integer

Yes

2.0.0

Number of items to be recommended (N for the top-N recommendation).

scenario

query

string

No

2.0.0

Scenario 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 the performance of each scenario in the Admin UI separately, so you can check how well each application performs.

The AI that optimizes models to get the best results may optimize different scenarios separately or even use different models in each of the scenarios.

cascadeCreate

query

boolean

No

2.0.0

If 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.

returnProperties

query

boolean

No

2.0.0

With 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 to easily display the recommended items to the user.

Example response:

{
  "recommId": "ce52ada4-e4d9-4885-943c-407db2dee837",
  "recomms":
    [
      {
        "id": "tv-178",
        "values": {
          "description": "4K TV with 3D feature",
          "categories":   ["Electronics", "Televisions"],
          "price": 342,
          "url": "myshop.com/tv-178"
        }
      },
      {
        "id": "mixer-42",
        "values": {
          "description": "Stainless Steel Mixer",
          "categories":   ["Home & Kitchen"],
          "price": 39,
          "url": "myshop.com/mixer-42"
        }
      }
    ],
   "numberNextRecommsCalls": 0
}

includedProperties

query

array

No

2.0.0

Allows specifying which properties should be returned when returnProperties=true is set. The properties are given as a comma-separated list.

Example response for includedProperties=description,price:

{
  "recommId": "a86ee8d5-cd8e-46d1-886c-8b3771d0520b",
  "recomms":
    [
      {
        "id": "tv-178",
        "values": {
          "description": "4K TV with 3D feature",
          "price": 342
        }
      },
      {
        "id": "mixer-42",
        "values": {
          "description": "Stainless Steel Mixer",
          "price": 39
        }
      }
    ],
  "numberNextRecommsCalls": 0
}

filter

query

string

No

2.0.0

Boolean-returning ReQL expression, which allows you to filter recommended items based on the values of their attributes.

Filters can also be assigned to a scenario in the Admin UI.

booster

query

string

No

2.0.0

Number-returning ReQL expression, which allows you to boost the recommendation rate of some items based on the values of their attributes.

Boosters can also be assigned to a scenario in the Admin UI.

logic

query

string / object

No

2.4.0

Logic specifies the particular behavior of the recommendation models. You can pick tailored logic for your domain and use case. See this section for a list of available logics and other details.

The difference between logic and scenario is that logic specifies mainly behavior, while scenario specifies the place where recommendations are shown to the users.

Logic can also be set to a scenario in the Admin UI.

minRelevance

query

string

No

2.0.0

Expert option Specifies the threshold of how 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 a number of items equal to count at any cost. If there is 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 a 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.

rotationRate

query

number

No

2.0.0

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 a 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. You may also use, for example, rotationRate=0.2 for only slight rotation of recommended items. Default: 0.

rotationTime

query

number

No

2.0.0

Expert option Taking rotationRate into account, specifies how long it takes for an item to recover from the penalization. For example, rotationTime=7200.0 means that items recommended less than 2 hours ago are penalized. Default: 7200.0.

Recommends a set of items that are somehow related to one given item, X. A typical scenario is when the user A is viewing X. Then you may display items to the user that he might also be interested in. Recommend items to item request gives you Top-N such items, optionally taking the target user A into account.

The returned items are sorted by relevance (the first item being the most relevant).

Besides the recommended items, also a unique recommId is returned in the response. It can be used to:

  • Let Recombee know that this recommendation was successful (e.g., user clicked one of the recommended items). See Reported metrics.

  • Get subsequent recommended items when the user scrolls down (infinite scroll) or goes to the next page. See Recommend Next Items.

It is also possible to use POST HTTP method (for example in the case of a very long ReQL filter) - query parameters then become body parameters.

Since version 2.0.0

Parameters

Parameter

Located in

Type

Required

Since version

databaseId

path

string

Yes

2.0.0

ID of your database.

itemId

path

string

Yes

2.0.0

ID of the item for which the recommendations are to be generated.

targetUserId

query

string

Yes

2.0.0

ID of the user who will see the recommendations.

Specifying the targetUserId is beneficial because:

  • It makes the recommendations personalized

  • Allows the calculation of Actions and Conversions in the graphical user interface, as Recombee can pair the user who got recommendations and who afterward viewed/purchased an item.

If you insist on not specifying the user, pass null (None, nil, NULL etc., depending on the language) to targetUserId. Do not create some special dummy user for getting recommendations, as it could mislead the recommendation models, and result in wrong recommendations.

For anonymous/unregistered users, it is possible to use, for example, their session ID.

count

query

integer

Yes

2.0.0

Number of items to be recommended (N for the top-N recommendation).

scenario

query

string

No

2.0.0

Scenario 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 the performance of each scenario in the Admin UI separately, so you can check how well each application performs.

The AI that optimizes models to get the best results may optimize different scenarios separately or even use different models in each of the scenarios.

cascadeCreate

query

boolean

No

2.0.0

If an item of the given itemId or user of the given targetUserId doesn’t exist in the database, it creates the missing entity/entities and returns some (non-personalized) recommendations. This allows, for example, rotations in the following recommendations for the user of the given targetUserId, as the user will be already known to the system.

returnProperties

query

boolean

No

2.0.0

With 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 to easily display the recommended items to the user.

Example response:

{
  "recommId": "0c6189e7-dc1a-429a-b613-192696309361",
  "recomms":
    [
      {
        "id": "tv-178",
        "values": {
          "description": "4K TV with 3D feature",
          "categories":   ["Electronics", "Televisions"],
          "price": 342,
          "url": "myshop.com/tv-178"
        }
      },
      {
        "id": "mixer-42",
        "values": {
          "description": "Stainless Steel Mixer",
          "categories":   ["Home & Kitchen"],
          "price": 39,
          "url": "myshop.com/mixer-42"
        }
      }
    ],
  "numberNextRecommsCalls": 0
}

includedProperties

query

array

No

2.0.0

Allows specifying which properties should be returned when returnProperties=true is set. The properties are given as a comma-separated list.

Example response for includedProperties=description,price:

{
  "recommId": "6842c725-a79f-4537-a02c-f34d668a3f80",
  "recomms":
    [
      {
        "id": "tv-178",
        "values": {
          "description": "4K TV with 3D feature",
          "price": 342
        }
      },
      {
        "id": "mixer-42",
        "values": {
          "description": "Stainless Steel Mixer",
          "price": 39
        }
      }
    ],
  "numberNextRecommsCalls": 0
}

filter

query

string

No

2.0.0

Boolean-returning ReQL expression, which allows you to filter recommended items based on the values of their attributes.

Filters can also be assigned to a scenario in the Admin UI.

booster

query

string

No

2.0.0

Number-returning ReQL expression, which allows you to boost the recommendation rate of some items based on the values of their attributes.

Boosters can also be assigned to a scenario in the Admin UI.

logic

query

string / object

No

2.4.0

Logic specifies the particular behavior of the recommendation models. You can pick tailored logic for your domain and use case. See this section for a list of available logics and other details.

The difference between logic and scenario is that logic specifies mainly behavior, while scenario specifies the place where recommendations are shown to the users.

Logic can also be set to a scenario in the Admin UI.

minRelevance

query

string

No

2.0.0

Expert option If the targetUserId is provided: Specifies the threshold of how 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 a number of items equal to count at any cost. If there is not enough data (such as interactions or item properties), this may even lead to bestseller-based recommendations being 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.

rotationRate

query

number

No

2.0.0

Expert option If the targetUserId is provided: 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 a 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. You may also use, for example, rotationRate=0.2 for only slight rotation of recommended items.

rotationTime

query

number

No

2.0.0

Expert option If the targetUserId is provided: Taking rotationRate into account, specifies how long it takes for an item to recover from the penalization. For example, rotationTime=7200.0 means that items recommended less than 2 hours ago are penalized.

GET /{databaseId}/recomms/next/items/{recommId}?count=<integer>

Returns items that shall be shown to a user as next recommendations when the user e.g. scrolls the page down (infinite scroll) or goes to the next page.

It accepts recommId of a base recommendation request (e.g., request from the first page) and the number of items that shall be returned (count). The base request can be one of:

All the other parameters are inherited from the base request.

Recommend next items can be called many times for a single recommId and each call returns different (previously not recommended) items. The number of Recommend next items calls performed so far is returned in the numberNextRecommsCalls field.

Recommend next items can be requested up to 30 minutes after the base request or a previous Recommend next items call.

For billing purposes, each call to Recommend next items is counted as a separate recommendation request.

GET /{databaseId}/recomms/item-segments/item-segments/?contextSegmentId=<string>&targetUserId=<string>&count=<integer>&scenario=<string>&cascadeCreate=<boolean>&filter=<string>&booster=<string>&logic=<string / Object>

Recommends Segments from a result Segmentation that are the most relevant to a particular Segment from a context Segmentation.

Based on the used Segmentations, this endpoint can be used for example for:

  • Recommending the related brands to particular brand

  • Recommending the related brands to particular category

  • Recommending the related artists to a particular genre (assuming songs are the Items)

You need to set the used context and result Segmentation the Admin UI in the Scenario settings prior to using this endpoint.

The returned segments are sorted by relevance (first segment being the most relevant).

It is also possible to use POST HTTP method (for example in case of very long ReQL filter) - query parameters then become body parameters.

Since version 4.1.0

Parameters

Parameter

Located in

Type

Required

Since version

databaseId

path

string

Yes

4.1.0

ID of your database.

contextSegmentId

query

string

Yes

4.1.0

ID of the segment from contextSegmentationId for which the recommendations are to be generated.

targetUserId

query

string

Yes

4.1.0

ID of the user who will see the recommendations.

Specifying the targetUserId is beneficial because:

  • It makes the recommendations personalized

  • Allows the calculation of Actions and Conversions in the graphical user interface, as Recombee can pair the user who got recommendations and who afterward viewed/purchased an item.

If you insist on not specifying the user, pass null (None, nil, NULL etc., depending on the language) to targetUserId. Do not create some special dummy user for getting recommendations, as it could mislead the recommendation models, and result in wrong recommendations.

For anonymous/unregistered users, it is possible to use, for example, their session ID.

count

query

integer

Yes

4.1.0

Number of item segments to be recommended (N for the top-N recommendation).

scenario

query

string

No

4.1.0

Scenario 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 the performance of each scenario in the Admin UI separately, so you can check how well each application performs.

The AI that optimizes models to get the best results may optimize different scenarios separately or even use different models in each of the scenarios.

cascadeCreate

query

boolean

No

4.1.0

If 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.

filter

query

string

No

4.1.0

Boolean-returning ReQL expression which allows you to filter recommended segments based on the segmentationId.

booster

query

string

No

4.1.0

Number-returning ReQL expression which allows you to boost recommendation rate of some segments based on the segmentationId.

logic

query

string / object

No

4.1.0

Logic specifies the particular behavior of the recommendation models. You can pick tailored logic for your domain and use case. See this section for a list of available logics and other details.

The difference between logic and scenario is that logic specifies mainly behavior, while scenario specifies the place where recommendations are shown to the users.

Logic can also be set to a scenario in the Admin UI.

Series

Items in the catalog may be organized into series, expressing an explicit, known ordering of items, if there is any. Typical examples of series may be consecutive TV show episodes, book titles, etc.

Each item may be added to zero or more series, and a series may also be added into another series, resulting in a “meta-series”. This may be useful for modeling ordered seasons of a TV show that has the episodes in each season themselves ordered.

Series definition

Methods for managing series - creating, listing, and deleting them.

Add Series

ID of the series to be inserted into.

itemType

body

string

Yes

item iff the regular item from the catalog is to be inserted, series iff series is inserted as the item.

itemId

body

string

Yes

ID of the item iff itemType is item. ID of the series iff itemType is series.

time

body

number

Yes

Time index used for sorting items in the series. According to time, items are sorted within series in ascending order. In the example of TV show episodes, the episode number is a natural choice to be passed as time.

cascadeCreate

body

boolean

No

Indicates that any non-existing entity specified within the request should be created (as if corresponding PUT requests were invoked). This concerns both the seriesId and the itemId. If cascadeCreate is set to true, the behavior also depends on the itemType. Either item or series may be created if not present in the database.

Responses

Response

Description

200

Successful operation.

400

seriesId or itemId does not match ^[a-zA-Z0-9_-:@.]+$, or itemType``∉{item,series}, or ``time is not a real number.

404

Series of the given seriesId is not present in the database. Item of the given itemId is not present in the database if itemType is item. Series of the given itemId is not present in the database if itemType is series. If there is no additional info in the JSON response, you probably have an error in your URL.

409

Series item of the exact same (itemType, itemId, time) is already present in the series of seriesId. In many cases, you may consider this code success – it only tells you that nothing has been written to the database.

Segmentations Definition

Segmentations allow you to group the Items into various segments: For example segment articles or products by categories, segment movies by genres, etc. The Segmentations can be used in recommendations (e.g. return the most relevant categories for a user).

See this section for more info.

Property Based Segmentation

Property-based Segmentation groups the Items by the value of a particular property. See this section for more info.
