Custom JSON Feed

A JSON that contains structured information about the items.

  1. Set the URL of your JSON feed.

  2. Set Items Path - a path defined by keys of JSON objects to the array with items records

  3. Set Item ID Path - a path (relative to the item entry) to the element that contains the itemId. If your IDs contain some special characters, enable the MD5 Item IDs option (see this section for more details).

  4. The feed gets processed and a list of properties that were recognized in the feed is presented in the Suggested properties section. You can pick from the list properties that you want to synchronize to Recombee.

    You can also create a new property and set a path of keys for it (relative to the item entry). This is needed especially in the case of large .zip feeds which cannot be fully processed in this step to obtain the suggested properties.

  5. Continue to Preview and check that you are getting expected data for all the properties. When you are satisfied, confirm the settings and the feed will get scheduled for processing.
