requests ➔ request object #

indexName #
type: string
Required

The name of the target index.

objectID #
type: string
Required

The objectID of the item to get recommendations for.

maxRecommendations #
type: number

The number of recommendations to retrieve. Depending on the available recommendations and the other request parameters, the actual number of hits may be lower than that. If maxRecommendations isn’t provided or set to 0, all matching recommendations are returned, and no fallback request is performed.

threshold #
type: number
Required

Threshold for the recommendations confidence score (between 0 and 100). Only recommendations with a greater score are returned.

fallbackParameters #
type: Omit<SearchParameters, 'page' | 'hitsPerPage' | 'offset' | 'length'>

List of search parameters to send.

Additional filters to use as fallback when there aren’t enough recommendations.

queryParameters #
type: Omit<SearchParameters, 'page' | 'hitsPerPage' | 'offset' | 'length'>

List of search parameters to send.

Response # A

This section shows the JSON response returned by the API. Each API client encapsulates this response inside objects specific to the programming language, so that the actual response might be different. You can view the response by using the getLogs method. Don’t rely on the order of attributes in the response, as JSON doesn’t guarantee the ordering of keys in objects.
