Google Cloud Recommendation Engine V1beta1 Client - Class PredictionServiceClient (0.7.7)

Reference documentation and code samples for the Google Cloud Recommendation Engine V1beta1 Client class PredictionServiceClient.

Service Description: Service for making recommendation prediction.

This class provides the ability to make remote calls to the backing service through method calls that map to API methods.

Many parameters require resource names to be formatted in a particular way. To assist with these names, this class includes a format method for each type of name, and additionally a parseName method to extract the individual identifiers contained within formatted names that are returned by the API.

Namespace

Google \ Cloud \ RecommendationEngine \ V1beta1 \ Client

Methods

__construct

Constructor.

Parameters
Name	Description
`options`	`array` Optional. Options for configuring the service API wrapper.
`↳ apiEndpoint`	`string` The address of the API remote host. May optionally include the port, formatted as "
`↳ credentials`	`string\|array\|FetchAuthTokenInterface\|CredentialsWrapper` The credentials to be used by the client to authorize API calls. This option accepts either a path to a credentials file, or a decoded credentials file as a PHP array. Advanced usage: In addition, this option can also accept a pre-constructed Google\Auth\FetchAuthTokenInterface object or Google\ApiCore\CredentialsWrapper object. Note that when one of these objects are provided, any settings in $credentialsConfig will be ignored.
`↳ credentialsConfig`	`array` Options used to configure credentials, including auth token caching, for the client. For a full list of supporting configuration options, see Google\ApiCore\CredentialsWrapper::build() .
`↳ disableRetries`	`bool` Determines whether or not retries defined by the client configuration should be disabled. Defaults to `false`.
`↳ clientConfig`	`string\|array` Client method configuration, including retry settings. This option can be either a path to a JSON file, or a PHP array containing the decoded JSON data. By default this settings points to the default client config file, which is provided in the resources folder.
`↳ transport`	`string\|TransportInterface` The transport used for executing network requests. May be either the string `rest` or `grpc`. Defaults to `grpc` if gRPC support is detected on the system. Advanced usage: Additionally, it is possible to pass in an already instantiated Google\ApiCore\Transport\TransportInterface object. Note that when this object is provided, any settings in $transportConfig, and any $apiEndpoint setting, will be ignored.
`↳ transportConfig`	`array` Configuration options that will be used to construct the transport. Options for each supported transport type should be passed in a key for that transport. For example: $transportConfig = [ 'grpc' => [...], 'rest' => [...], ]; See the Google\ApiCore\Transport\GrpcTransport::build() and Google\ApiCore\Transport\RestTransport::build() methods for the supported options.
`↳ clientCertSource`	`callable` A callable which returns the client cert as a string. This can be used to provide a certificate and private key to the transport layer for mTLS.
`↳ logger`	`false\|LoggerInterface` A PSR-3 compliant logger. If set to false, logging is disabled, ignoring the 'GOOGLE_SDK_PHP_LOGGING' environment flag

predict

Makes a recommendation prediction. If using API Key based authentication, the API Key must be registered using the PredictionApiKeyRegistry service. Learn more.

The async variant is PredictionServiceClient::predictAsync() .

Parameters
Name	Description
`request`	`Google\Cloud\RecommendationEngine\V1beta1\PredictRequest` A request to house fields associated with the call.

Returns
Type	Description
`Google\ApiCore\PagedListResponse`

/**
 * @param string $formattedName              Full resource name of the format:
 *                                           `{name=projects/&#42;/locations/global/catalogs/default_catalog/eventStores/default_event_store/placements/*}`
 *                                           The id of the recommendation engine placement. This id is used to identify
 *                                           the set of models that will be used to make the prediction.
 *
 *                                           We currently support three placements with the following IDs by default:
 *
 *                                           * `shopping_cart`: Predicts items frequently bought together with one or
 *                                           more catalog items in the same shopping session. Commonly displayed after
 *                                           `add-to-cart` events, on product detail pages, or on the shopping cart
 *                                           page.
 *
 *                                           * `home_page`: Predicts the next product that a user will most likely
 *                                           engage with or purchase based on the shopping or viewing history of the
 *                                           specified `userId` or `visitorId`. For example - Recommendations for you.
 *
 *                                           * `product_detail`: Predicts the next product that a user will most likely
 *                                           engage with or purchase. The prediction is based on the shopping or
 *                                           viewing history of the specified `userId` or `visitorId` and its
 *                                           relevance to a specified `CatalogItem`. Typically used on product detail
 *                                           pages. For example - More items like this.
 *
 *                                           * `recently_viewed_default`: Returns up to 75 items recently viewed by the
 *                                           specified `userId` or `visitorId`, most recent ones first. Returns
 *                                           nothing if neither of them has viewed any items yet. For example -
 *                                           Recently viewed.
 *
 *                                           The full list of available placements can be seen at

 *                                           Maximum length 128 bytes. Cannot be empty.
