SetDefaultBranch

rpc SetDefaultBranch(SetDefaultBranchRequest) returns (Empty)

Set a specified branch id as default branch. API methods such as SearchService.Search, ProductService.GetProduct, ProductService.ListProducts will treat requests using "default_branch" to the actual branch id set as default.

For example, if projects/*/locations/*/catalogs/*/branches/1 is set as default, setting SearchRequest.branch to projects/*/locations/*/catalogs/*/branches/default_branch is equivalent to setting SearchRequest.branch to projects/*/locations/*/catalogs/*/branches/1.

Using multiple branches can be useful when developers would like to have a staging branch to test and verify for future usage. When it becomes ready, developers switch on the staging branch using this API while keeping using projects/*/locations/*/catalogs/*/branches/default_branch as SearchRequest.branch to route the traffic to this staging branch.

CAUTION: If you have live predict/search traffic, switching the default branch could potentially cause outages if the ID space of the new branch is very different from the old one.

More specifically:

  • PredictionService will only return product IDs from branch {newBranch}.
  • SearchService will only return product IDs from branch {newBranch} (if branch is not explicitly set).
  • UserEventService will only join events with products from branch {newBranch}.

SetInventory

rpc SetInventory(SetInventoryRequest) returns (Operation)

Updates inventory information for a Product while respecting the last update timestamps of each inventory field.

This process is asynchronous and does not require the Product to exist before updating fulfillment information. If the request is valid, the update is enqueued and processed downstream. As a consequence, when a response is returned, updates are not immediately manifested in the Product queried by ProductService.GetProduct or ProductService.ListProducts.

When inventory is updated with ProductService.CreateProduct and ProductService.UpdateProduct, the specified inventory field value(s) overwrite any existing value(s) while ignoring the last update time for this field. Furthermore, the last update times for the specified inventory fields are overwritten by the times of the ProductService.CreateProduct or ProductService.UpdateProduct request.

If no inventory fields are set in CreateProductRequest.product, then any pre-existing inventory information for this product is used.

If no inventory fields are set in SetInventoryRequest.set_mask, then any existing inventory information is preserved.

Pre-existing inventory information can only be updated with ProductService.SetInventory, ProductService.AddFulfillmentPlaces, and ProductService.RemoveFulfillmentPlaces.

The returned Operations is obsolete after one day, and the GetOperation API returns NOT_FOUND afterwards.

If you don't set the facet SearchRequest.FacetSpec.FacetKey.intervals in the request to a numerical attribute, then we use the computed intervals with rounded bounds obtained from all its product numerical attribute values. The computed intervals might not be ideal for some attributes. Therefore, we give you the option to overwrite them with the facet_intervals field. The maximum of facet intervals per CatalogAttribute is 40. Each interval must have a lower bound or an upper bound. If both bounds are provided, then the lower bound must be smaller or equal than the upper bound.

merged_facet_values[]

MergedFacetValue

Each instance replaces a list of facet values by a merged facet value. If a facet value is not in any list, then it will stay the same. To avoid conflicts, only paths of length 1 are accepted. In other words, if "dark_blue" merged into "BLUE", then the latter can't merge into "blues" because this would create a path of length 2. The maximum number of instances of MergedFacetValue per CatalogAttribute is 100. This feature is available only for textual custom attributes.

end_time

Timestamp

If start time is empty and end time is not empty, then ignore these facet values before end time.

MergedFacet

The current facet key (i.e. attribute config) maps into the merged_facet_key. A facet key can have at most one child. The current facet key and the merged facet key need both to be textual custom attributes or both numerical custom attributes (same type).

RerankConfig

Options to rerank based on facet values engaged by the user for the current key. That key needs to be a custom textual key and facetable. To use this control, you also need to pass all the facet keys engaged by the user in the request using the field [SearchRequest.FacetSpec]. In particular, if you don't pass the facet keys engaged that you want to rerank on, this control won't be effective. Moreover, to obtain better results, the facet values that you want to rerank on should be close to English (ideally made of words, underscores, and spaces).

Fields
rerank_facet

bool

If set to true, then we also rerank the dynamic facets based on the facet values engaged by the user for the current attribute key during serving.

The full list of available serving configs can be seen at https://console.cloud.google.com/ai/retail/catalogs/default_catalog/configs

user_event

UserEvent

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.

page_size

int32

Maximum number of results to return. Set this property to the number of prediction results needed. If zero, the service will choose a reasonable default. The maximum allowed value is 100. Values above 100 will be coerced to 100.

filter

string

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.

validate_only

bool

Use validate only mode for this prediction query. If set to true, a dummy model will be used that returns arbitrary products. Note that the validate only mode should only be used for testing the API, or if the model is not ready.

params

map<string, Value>

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.
labels

map<string, string>

The labels applied to a resource must meet the following requirements:

  • Each resource can have multiple labels, up to a maximum of 64.
  • Each label must be a key-value pair.
  • Keys have a minimum length of 1 character and a maximum length of 63 characters and cannot be empty. Values can be empty and have a maximum length of 63 characters.
  • Keys and values can contain only lowercase letters, numeric characters, underscores, and dashes. All characters must use UTF-8 encoding, and international characters are allowed.
  • The key portion of a label must be unique. However, you can use the same key with multiple resources.

ConditionBoostSpec

Boost applies to products which match a condition.

Fields
condition

string

An expression which specifies a boost condition. The syntax and supported fields are the same as a filter expression. See SearchRequest.filter for detail syntax and limitations.

Examples:

  • To boost products with product ID "product_1" or "product_2", and color "Red" or "Blue":
    • (id: ANY("product_1", "product_2")) AND (colorFamilies: ANY("Red","Blue"))
boost

float

Strength of the condition boost, which should be in [-1, 1]. Negative boost means demotion. Default is 0.0.

Setting to 1.0 gives the item a big promotion. However, it does not necessarily mean that the boosted item will be the top result at all times, nor that other items will be excluded. Results could still be shown even when none of them matches the condition. And results that are significantly more relevant to the search query can still trump your heavily favored but irrelevant items.

Setting to -1.0 gives the item a big demotion. However, results that are deeply relevant might still be shown. The item will have an upstream battle to get a fairly high ranking, but it is not blocked out completely.

Setting to 0.0 means no boost applied. The boosting condition is ignored.

FacetSpec

A facet specification to perform faceted search.

Fields
facet_key

FacetKey

Required. The facet key specification.

limit

int32

Maximum of facet values that should be returned for this facet. If unspecified, defaults to 50. The maximum allowed value is 300. Values above 300 will be coerced to 300.

If this field is negative, an INVALID_ARGUMENT is returned.

excluded_filter_keys[]

string

List of keys to exclude when faceting.

By default, FacetKey.key is not excluded from the filter unless it is listed in this field.

Listing a facet key in this field allows its values to appear as facet results, even when they are filtered out of search results. Using this field does not affect what search results are returned.

For example, suppose there are 100 products with the color facet "Red" and 200 products with the color facet "Blue". A query containing the filter "colorFamilies:ANY("Red")" and having "colorFamilies" as FacetKey.key would by default return only "Red" products in the search results, and also return "Red" with count 100 as the only color facet. Although there are also blue products available, "Blue" would not be shown as an available facet value.

If "colorFamilies" is listed in "excludedFilterKeys", then the query returns the facet values "Red" with count 100 and "Blue" with count 200, because the "colorFamilies" key is now excluded from the filter. Because this field doesn't affect search results, the search results are still correctly filtered to return only "Red" products.

A maximum of 100 values are allowed. Otherwise, an INVALID_ARGUMENT error is returned.

enable_dynamic_position

bool

Enables dynamic position for this facet. If set to true, the position of this facet among all facets in the response is determined by Google Retail Search. It is ordered together with dynamic facets if dynamic facets is enabled. If set to false, the position of this facet in the response is the same as in the request, and it is ranked before the facets with dynamic position enable and all dynamic facets.

For example, you may always want to have rating facet returned in the response, but it's not necessarily to always display the rating facet at the top. In that case, you can set enable_dynamic_position to true so that the position of rating facet in response is determined by Google Retail Search.

Another example, assuming you have the following facets in the request:

  • "rating", enable_dynamic_position = true

  • "price", enable_dynamic_position = false

  • "brands", enable_dynamic_position = false

And also you have a dynamic facets enable, which generates a facet "gender". Then, the final order of the facets in the response can be ("price", "brands", "rating", "gender") or ("price", "brands", "gender", "rating") depends on how Google Retail Search orders "gender" and "rating" facets. However, notice that "price" and "brands" are always ranked at first and second position because their enable_dynamic_position values are false.

FacetKey

Specifies how a facet is computed.

Fields
key

string

Required. Supported textual and numerical facet keys in Product object, over which the facet values are computed. Facet key is case-sensitive.

    • "attributes.key"
    • "inventory(place_id,price)"
    • "inventory(place_id,original_price)"
    • "inventory(place_id,attributes.key)"
intervals[]

Interval

Set only if values should be bucketized into intervals. Must be set for facets with numerical values. Must not be set for facet with text values. Maximum number of intervals is 40.

For all numerical facet keys that appear in the list of products from the catalog, the percentiles 0, 10, 30, 50, 70, 90, and 100 are computed from their distribution weekly. If the model assigns a high score to a numerical facet key and its intervals are not specified in the search request, these percentiles become the bounds for its intervals and are returned in the response. If the facet key intervals are specified in the request, then the specified intervals are returned instead.

restricted_values[]

string

For textual and numerical attributes, the rollup values is a list of string or double values with type google.protobuf.ListValue. For example, if there are two variants with colors "red" and "blue", the rollup values are

{ key: "colorFamilies"
  value {
    list_value {
      values { string_value: "red" }
      values { string_value: "blue" }
     }
  }
}

For FulfillmentInfo, the rollup values is a double value with type google.protobuf.Value. For example, {key: "pickupInStore.store1" value { number_value: 10 }} means a there are 10 variants in this product are available in the store "store1".

The value must be a valid PredictResponse.attribution_token for user events that are the result of PredictionService.Predict. The value must be a valid SearchResponse.attribution_token for user events that are the result of SearchService.Search.

This token enables us to accurately attribute page view or purchase 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 PredictResponse.attribution_token as a URL parameter to product K's page. When recording events on product K's page, log the PredictResponse.attribution_token to this field.

product_details[]

ProductDetail

The main product details related to the event.

This field is optional except for the following event types:

  • add-to-cart
  • detail-page-view
  • purchase-complete

In a search event, this field represents the products returned to the end user on the current page (the end user may have not finished browsing the whole page yet). When a new page is returned to the end user, after pagination/filtering/ordering even for the same query, a new search event with different product_details is desired. The end user may have not finished browsing the whole page yet.

completion_detail

CompletionDetail

The main auto-completion details related to the event.

This field should be set for search event when autocomplete function is enabled and the user clicks a suggestion for search.

attributes

map<string, CustomAttribute>

Extra user event features to include in the recommendation model.

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 Retail 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 can only be set for search events. Other event types should not set this field. Otherwise, an INVALID_ARGUMENT error is returned.

page_categories[]

string

The categories associated with a category page.

To represent full path of category, use '>' sign to separate different hierarchies. If '>' is part of the category name, replace it with other character(s).

Category pages include special pages such as sales or promotions. For instance, a special sale page may have the category hierarchy: "pageCategories" : ["Sales > 2017 Black Friday Deals"].

Required for category-page-view events. At least one of search_query or page_categories is required for search events. Other event types should not set this field. Otherwise, an INVALID_ARGUMENT error is returned.

UserInfo

Information of an end user.

Fields
user_id

string

Highly recommended for logged-in users. Unique identifier for logged-in user, such as a user name. Don't set for anonymous users.

Always use a hashed value for this ID.

Don't 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.

ip_address

string

The end user's IP address. This field is used to extract location information for personalization.

This field must be either an IPv4 address (e.g. "104.133.9.80") or an IPv6 address (e.g. "2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334"). Otherwise, an INVALID_ARGUMENT error is returned.

This should not be set when:

user_agent

string

User agent as included in the HTTP header. Required for getting SearchResponse.sponsored_results.

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

This should not be set when using the client side event reporting with GTM or JavaScript tag in UserEventService.CollectUserEvent or if direct_user_request is set.

direct_user_request

bool

True if the request is made directly from the end user, in which case the ip_address and user_agent can be populated from the HTTP request. This flag should be set only if the API request is made directly from the end user such as a mobile app (and not if a gateway or a server is processing and pushing the user events).

This should not be set when using the JavaScript tag in UserEventService.CollectUserEvent.

WriteUserEventRequest

Request message for WriteUserEvent method.

Fields
parent

string

Required. The parent catalog resource name, such as projects/1234/locations/global/catalogs/default_catalog.

user_event

UserEvent

Required. User event to write.

write_async

bool

If set to true, the user event will be written asynchronously after validation, and the API will respond without waiting for the write. Therefore, silent failures can occur even if the API returns success. In case of silent failures, error messages can be found in Stackdriver logs.
