Product Recommendations

This integration step is about getting personalized product recommendations. This personalization is provided out of the box using machine intelligence and AI/ML capabilities of Raman, the AI engine of Smartech,

📘
Note:
This feature is available from SDK v2.4.6.

With this integration step, you can get the following product recommendations:

Default recommendations
Best Seller recommendations
New products recommendations
Recently viewed recommendations

Smartech has introduced the below methods to get different types of product recommendations.

//Default recommendations
[[NetCoreSharedManager sharedInstance] getReco:boxxRequest withCompletionBlock:^(NSDictionary * _Nullable responseData) {
	NSLog(@"Product recommendation response: %@", responseData);
}];

//Best Seller recommendations
[[NetCoreSharedManager sharedInstance] getBestSellerReco:boxxRequest withCompletionBlock:^(NSDictionary * _Nullable responseData) {
	NSLog(@"Product recommendation response: %@", responseData);
}];

//New products recommendations
[[NetCoreSharedManager sharedInstance] getNewProductsReco:boxxRequest withCompletionBlock:^(NSDictionary * _Nullable responseData) {
	NSLog(@"Product recommendation response: %@", responseData);
}];

//Recently viewed recommendations
[[NetCoreSharedManager sharedInstance] getRecentlyViewedReco:boxxRequest withCompletionBlock:^(NSDictionary * _Nullable responseData) {
	NSLog(@"Product recommendation response: %@", responseData);
}];

//Default recommendations
NetCoreSharedManager.sharedInstance().getReco(boxxRequest) { (responseData) in
	print("Product recommendation response: \(responseData)")
}

//Best Seller recommendations
NetCoreSharedManager.sharedInstance().getBestSellerReco(boxxRequest) { (responseData) in
	print("Product recommendation response: \(responseData)")
}

//New products recommendations
NetCoreSharedManager.sharedInstance().getNewProductsReco(boxxRequest) { (responseData) in
	print("Product recommendation response: \(responseData)")
}

//Recently viewed recommendations
NetCoreSharedManager.sharedInstance().getRecentlyViewedReco(boxxRequest) { (responseData) in
	print("Product recommendation response: \(responseData)")
}

//Trending recommendations
NetCoreSharedManager.sharedInstance().getTrendingReco(boxxRequest) { (responseData) in
	print("Product recommendation response: \(responseData)")
}

Step 1. Create SMTBoxxRequestQuery object.

SMTBoxxRequestQuery object will contain the detailed inputs like item filters, related products, excluded products, and related action types. These inputs will be used to create a response to the product recommendation request.

SMTBoxxRequestQuery *boxxRequestQuery = [[SMTBoxxRequestQuery alloc] init];

// Setting the item filters.
boxxRequestQuery.itemFilters = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjectsAndKeys: @"boost_factor", 1, nil];

// Setting the related products.
boxxRequestQuery.relatedProducts = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"PRODUCT_ID1", @"PRODUCT_ID2", @"PRODUCT_ID3", nil];

// Setting the context.
boxxRequestQuery.context = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjectsAndKeys: @"boxx_location_code", 56, nil];

// Setting products to exclude.
boxxRequestQuery.exclude = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"PRODUCT_ID4", @"PRODUCT_ID5", nil];

// Setting transaction types not to repeat.
boxxRequestQuery.dontRepeatTransactionTypes = [NSArray arrayWithObjects: @"ACTION_TYPE1", @"ACTION_TYPE2", nil];

// Setting whether you want to get the product properties.
boxxRequestQuery.getProductProperties = YES;

// Setting the num.
boxxRequestQuery.num = 45;

// Setting the offset.
boxxRequestQuery.offset = 30;

// Setting the related action type.
boxxRequestQuery.relatedActionType = @"view";

// Setting whether you want to get the product liked disliked status.
boxxRequestQuery.getProductLikedDislikedStatus = YES;

// Setting whether you want to get the product aliases.
boxxRequestQuery.getProductAliases = YES;

// Setting extra inputs.
boxxRequestQuery.extras = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjectsAndKeys: @"Key1", @"Value1", @"Key2", 2, @"Key3", YES, nil];

let boxxRequestQuery = SMTBoxxRequestQuery()

boxxRequestQuery.itemFilters = ["boost_factor" : 1]
boxxRequestQuery.relatedProducts = ["PRODUCT_ID1", "PRODUCT_ID2", "PRODUCT_ID3"]
boxxRequestQuery.context = ["boxx_location_code" : 56]
boxxRequestQuery.exclude = ["PRODUCT_ID4", "PRODUCT_ID5"]
boxxRequestQuery.dontRepeatTransactionTypes = ["ACTION_TYPE1", "ACTION_TYPE2"]
boxxRequestQuery.getProductProperties = true
boxxRequestQuery.num = 45
boxxRequestQuery.offset = 30
boxxRequestQuery.relatedActionType = "view"
boxxRequestQuery.getProductLikedDislikedStatus = true
boxxRequestQuery.getProductAliases = true
boxxRequestQuery.extras = ["Key1" : "Value1",
						   "Key2" : 2,
						   "Key3" : true]

Step 2. Create SMTBoxxRequest object.

After creating a SMTBoxxRequestQuery object you need to create SMTBoxxRequest object and then pass the SMTBoxxRequestQuery object in an object inside SMTBoxxRequest.

SMTBoxxRequest *boxxRequest = [[SMTBoxxRequest alloc] init];

// Setting the locale
boxxRequest.locale = @"EN";

// Setting the SMTBoxxRequestQuery object to input product recommendation API.
boxxRequest.requestQuery = boxxRequestQuery;

let boxxRequest = SMTBoxxRequest()

// Setting the locale
boxxRequest.locale = "EN"

// Setting the SMTBoxxRequestQuery object to input product recommendation API.
boxxRequest.requestQuery = boxxRequestQuery

Step 3. Invoke method to get product recommendations.

Once you create SMTBoxxRequest object call the product recommendations method of desired recommendation type.

[[NetCoreSharedManager sharedInstance] getReco:boxxRequest withCompletionBlock:^(NSDictionary * _Nullable responseData) {
	NSLog(@"Product recommendation response: %@", responseData);
}];

NetCoreSharedManager.sharedInstance().getReco(boxxRequest) { (responseData) in
	print("Product recommendation response: \(responseData)")
}

In the responseData object, there are three keys which are explained in the below table:

Key	Value
response_code	This key will help you identify the status code of the API call.
response_message	This key will provide you the error message based on status code.
response_data	This key will provide you the response of API.

Following is an example for accessing keys from responseData object

[[NetCoreSharedManager sharedInstance] getReco:boxxRequest withCompletionBlock:^(NSDictionary * _Nullable responseData) {
  NSLog(@"Product recommendation response code: %@", responseData[@"response_code"]);
  NSLog(@"Product recommendation response message: %@", responseData[@"response_message"]);
  NSLog(@"Product recommendation response data: %@", responseData[@"response_data"]);
}];

NetCoreSharedManager.sharedInstance().getReco(boxxRequest) { (responseData) in
	print("Product recommendation response code: \(responseData?["response_code"])")
	print("Product recommendation response message: \(responseData?["response_message"])")
	print("Product recommendation response data: \(responseData?["response_data"])")
}

📘Note:

Step 1. Create SMTBoxxRequestQuery object.

Step 2. Create SMTBoxxRequest object.

Step 3. Invoke method to get product recommendations.
