One example is for search events, the associated SearchRequest may contain a filter expression in SearchRequest.filter conforming to https://google.aip.dev/160#filtering.

Similarly, for view-item-list events that are generated from a [RecommendationService.RecommendRequest][], this field may be populated directly from [RecommendationService.RecommendRequest.filter][] conforming to https://google.aip.dev/160#filtering.

The value must be a UTF-8 encoded string with a length limit of 1,000 characters. Otherwise, an INVALID_ARGUMENT error is returned.

clearSessionId()

public UserEvent.Builder clearSessionId()

A unique identifier for tracking a visitor session with a length limit of 128 bytes. A session is an aggregation of an end user behavior in a time span.

A general guideline to populate the session_id:

If user has no activity for 30 min, a new session_id should be assigned.
The session_id should be unique across users, suggest use uuid or add UserEvent.user_pseudo_id as prefix.

string session_id = 6;

Returns
Type	Description
`UserEvent.Builder`

clearUserPseudoId()

public UserEvent.Builder clearUserPseudoId()

Required. A unique identifier for tracking visitors.

For example, this could be implemented with an HTTP cookie, which should be able to uniquely identify a visitor on a single device. This unique identifier should not change if the visitor log in/out of the website.

Do not set the field to the same fixed ID for different users. This mixes the event history of those users together, which results in degraded model quality.

The field must be a UTF-8 encoded string with a length limit of 128 characters. Otherwise, an INVALID_ARGUMENT error is returned.

The field should not contain PII or user-data. We recommend to use Google Analytics Client ID for this field.

Returns
Type	Description
`UserEvent.Builder`	This builder for chaining.

containsAttributes(String key)

public boolean containsAttributes(String key)

Extra user event features to include in the recommendation model. These attributes must NOT contain data that needs to be parsed or processed further, e.g. JSON or other encodings.

If you provide custom attributes for ingested user events, also include them in the user events that you associate with prediction requests. Custom attribute formatting must be consistent between imported events and events provided with prediction requests. This lets the Discovery Engine API use those custom attributes when training models and serving predictions, which helps improve recommendation quality.

This field needs to pass all below criteria, otherwise an INVALID_ARGUMENT error is returned:

The key must be a UTF-8 encoded string with a length limit of 5,000 characters.
For text attributes, at most 400 values are allowed. Empty values are not allowed. Each value must be a UTF-8 encoded string with a length limit of 256 characters.
For number attributes, at most 400 values are allowed.

This token enables us to accurately attribute page view or conversion completion back to the event and the particular predict response containing this clicked/purchased product. If user clicks on product K in the recommendation results, pass RecommendResponse.attribution_token as a URL parameter to product K's page. When recording events on product K's page, log the RecommendResponse.attribution_token to this field.

string attribution_token = 8;
