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.

Fields
facet_intervals[]

Interval

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.

ignored_facet_values[]

IgnoredFacetValues

Each instance represents a list of attribute values to ignore as facet values for a specific time range. The maximum number of instances per CatalogAttribute is 25.

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.

merged_facet

MergedFacet

Use this field only if you want to merge a facet key into another facet key.

start_time

Timestamp

Time range for the current list of facet values to ignore. If multiple time ranges are specified for an facet value for the current attribute, consider all of them. If both are empty, ignore always. If start time and end time are set, then start time must be before end time. If start time is not empty and end time is empty, then will ignore these facet values after the start time.

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).

Fields
merged_facet_key

string

The merged facet key should be a valid facet key that is different than the facet key of the current catalog attribute. We refer this is merged facet key as the child of the current catalog attribute. This merged facet key can't be a parent of another facet key (i.e. no directed path of length 2). This merged facet key needs to be either a textual custom attribute or a numerical custom attribute.

MergedFacetValue

Replaces a set of textual facet values by the same (possibly different) merged facet value. Each facet value should appear at most once as a value per CatalogAttribute. This feature is available only for textual custom attributes.

Fields
values[]

string

All the facet values that are replaces by the same merged_value that follows. The maximum number of values per MergedFacetValue is 25. Each value can have up to 128 characters.

merged_value

string

All the previous values are replaced by this merged facet value. This merged_value must be non-empty and can have up to 128 characters.

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.

facet_values[]

string

If empty, rerank on all facet values for the current key. Otherwise, will rerank on the facet values from this list only.

PeriodicTuningState

Describes whether periodic tuning is enabled for this model or not. Periodic tuning is scheduled at most every three months. You can start a tuning process manually by using the TuneModel method, which starts a tuning process immediately and resets the quarterly schedule. Enabling or disabling periodic tuning does not affect any current tuning processes.

Enums
PERIODIC_TUNING_STATE_UNSPECIFIED Unspecified default value, should never be explicitly set.
PERIODIC_TUNING_DISABLED The model has periodic tuning disabled. Tuning can be reenabled by calling the EnableModelPeriodicTuning method or by calling the TuneModel method.
ALL_TUNING_DISABLED The model cannot be tuned with periodic tuning OR the TuneModel method. Hide the options in customer UI and reject any requests through the backend self serve API.
PERIODIC_TUNING_ENABLED The model has periodic tuning enabled. Tuning can be disabled by calling the DisableModelPeriodicTuning method.

string

Required. Full resource name of the format: {placement=projects/*/locations/global/catalogs/default_catalog/servingConfigs/*} or {placement=projects/*/locations/global/catalogs/default_catalog/placements/*}. 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.

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.

page_token
(deprecated)

string

This field is not used; leave it unset.

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.
  • Keys must start with a lowercase letter or international character.
