clearFilter()

public PredictRequest.Builder clearFilter()

Filter for restricting prediction results with a length limit of 5,000 characters. Accepts values for tags and the filterOutOfStockItems flag.

  • Tag expressions. Restricts predictions to products that match all of the specified tags. Boolean operators OR and NOT are supported if the expression is enclosed in parentheses, and must be separated from the tag values by a space. -"tagA" is also supported and is equivalent to NOT "tagA". Tag values must be double quoted UTF-8 encoded strings with a size limit of 1,000 characters.

    Note: "Recently viewed" models don't support tag filtering at the moment.

  • filterOutOfStockItems. Restricts predictions to products that do not have a stockState value of OUT_OF_STOCK.

    Examples:

  • tag=("Red" OR "Blue") tag="New-Arrival" tag=(NOT "promotional")

  • filterOutOfStockItems tag=(-"promotional")

  • filterOutOfStockItems

    If your filter blocks all prediction results, the API will return no results. If instead you want empty result sets to return generic (unfiltered) popular products, set strictFiltering to False in PredictRequest.params. Note that the API will never return items with storageStatus of "EXPIRED" or "DELETED" regardless of filter choices.

    If filterSyntaxV2 is set to true under the params field, then attribute-based expressions are expected instead of the above described tag-based syntax. Examples:

  • (colors: ANY("Red", "Blue")) AND NOT (categories: ANY("Phones"))

  • (availability: ANY("IN_STOCK")) AND (colors: ANY("Red") OR categories: ANY("Phones"))

    For more information, see Filter recommendations.

Required.

We recommend using the servingConfigs resource. placements is a legacy resource. The ID of the Recommendations AI serving config or placement. Before you can request predictions from your model, you must create at least one serving config or placement for it. For more information, see Manage serving configs.

clearUserEvent()

public PredictRequest.Builder clearUserEvent()

Required. Context about the user, what they are looking at and what action they took to trigger the predict request. Note that this user event detail won't be ingested to userEvent logs. Thus, a separate userEvent write request is required for event logging.

Don't set UserEvent.visitor_id or UserInfo.user_id to the same fixed ID for different users. If you are trying to receive non-personalized recommendations (not recommended; this can negatively impact model performance), instead set UserEvent.visitor_id to a random unique ID and leave UserInfo.user_id unset.

  • strictFiltering: Boolean. True by default. If set to false, the service will return generic (unfiltered) popular products instead of empty if your filter blocks all prediction results.
  • priceRerankLevel: String. Default empty. If set to be non-empty, then it needs to be one of {'no-price-reranking', 'low-price-reranking', 'medium-price-reranking', 'high-price-reranking'}. This gives request-level control and adjusts prediction results based on product price.
  • diversityLevel: String. Default empty. If set to be non-empty, then it needs to be one of {'no-diversity', 'low-diversity', 'medium-diversity', 'high-diversity', 'auto-diversity'}. This gives request-level control and adjusts prediction results based on product category.

putAllParams(Map<String,Value> values)

public PredictRequest.Builder putAllParams(Map<String,Value> values)

Additional domain specific parameters for the predictions.

Allowed values:

  • returnProduct: Boolean. If set to true, the associated product object will be returned in the results.metadata field in the prediction response.
  • returnScore: Boolean. If set to true, the prediction 'score' corresponding to each returned product will be set in the results.metadata field in the prediction response. The given 'score' indicates the probability of a product being clicked/purchased given the user's context and history.
  • strictFiltering: Boolean. True by default. If set to false, the service will return generic (unfiltered) popular products instead of empty if your filter blocks all prediction results.
  • priceRerankLevel: String. Default empty. If set to be non-empty, then it needs to be one of {'no-price-reranking', 'low-price-reranking', 'medium-price-reranking', 'high-price-reranking'}. This gives request-level control and adjusts prediction results based on product price.
  • diversityLevel: String. Default empty. If set to be non-empty, then it needs to be one of {'no-diversity', 'low-diversity', 'medium-diversity', 'high-diversity', 'auto-diversity'}. This gives request-level control and adjusts prediction results based on product category.
  • filterSyntaxV2: Boolean. False by default. If set to true, the filter field is interpreteted according to the new, attribute-based syntax.

setFilter(String value)

public PredictRequest.Builder setFilter(String value)

Filter for restricting prediction results with a length limit of 5,000 characters. Accepts values for tags and the filterOutOfStockItems flag.

  • Tag expressions. Restricts predictions to products that match all of the specified tags. Boolean operators OR and NOT are supported if the expression is enclosed in parentheses, and must be separated from the tag values by a space. -"tagA" is also supported and is equivalent to NOT "tagA". Tag values must be double quoted UTF-8 encoded strings with a size limit of 1,000 characters.

    Note: "Recently viewed" models don't support tag filtering at the moment.

  • filterOutOfStockItems. Restricts predictions to products that do not have a stockState value of OUT_OF_STOCK.

    Examples:

  • tag=("Red" OR "Blue") tag="New-Arrival" tag=(NOT "promotional")

  • filterOutOfStockItems tag=(-"promotional")

  • filterOutOfStockItems

    If your filter blocks all prediction results, the API will return no results. If instead you want empty result sets to return generic (unfiltered) popular products, set strictFiltering to False in PredictRequest.params. Note that the API will never return items with storageStatus of "EXPIRED" or "DELETED" regardless of filter choices.

    If filterSyntaxV2 is set to true under the params field, then attribute-based expressions are expected instead of the above described tag-based syntax. Examples:

  • (colors: ANY("Red", "Blue")) AND NOT (categories: ANY("Phones"))

  • (availability: ANY("IN_STOCK")) AND (colors: ANY("Red") OR categories: ANY("Phones"))

setFilterBytes(ByteString value)

public PredictRequest.Builder setFilterBytes(ByteString value)

Filter for restricting prediction results with a length limit of 5,000 characters. Accepts values for tags and the filterOutOfStockItems flag.

  • Tag expressions. Restricts predictions to products that match all of the specified tags. Boolean operators OR and NOT are supported if the expression is enclosed in parentheses, and must be separated from the tag values by a space. -"tagA" is also supported and is equivalent to NOT "tagA". Tag values must be double quoted UTF-8 encoded strings with a size limit of 1,000 characters.

    Note: "Recently viewed" models don't support tag filtering at the moment.
