RecomPI API
A Python wrapper for the RecomPI API, providing methods to interact with the service for tracking user behavior and obtaining recommendations.
Installation
Install the RecomPI library using pip:
pip install recompi
Usage
Initialization
Create an instance of the RecomPI
class using your campaign's API key.
from recompi import RecomPI
api = RecomPI(api_key="YOUR_CAMPAIGN_TOKEN")
Campaign Token: To obtain YOUR_CAMPAIGN_TOKEN
, register on the RecomPI panel. After registration, add a campaign in the panel, and a campaign token will be generated instantly. Use this token as your API key in the code.
Pushing User Behavior
Use the push
method to send user interaction data to the RecomPI API. You can include tags, profiles, location, and geographical information.
from recompi import RecomPI, Tag, Profile, SecureProfile, Location, Geo
api = RecomPI(api_key="YOUR_CAMPAIGN_TOKEN")
response = api.push(
label="click",
tags=[
Tag(id="1", name="Technology", desc="Technology News"),
Tag(
id="2",
name="Online Marketing Tools",
desc="Latest news on online marketing tools",
),
],
profiles=Profile("user_id", "123"),
location=Location(
ip="1.1.1.1",
url="https://www.example.com/some/path?param1=1¶m2=2",
referer="REFERER_URL",
useragent="USERAGENT",
),
geo=Geo(
country="Iran",
province="Tehran",
),
)
print(response)
Parameters
label
(str): A label for the event, e.g., "click".tags
(list[Tag]): List of Tag
objects representing metadata.profiles
(list[Profile|SecureProfile] or Profile|SecureProfile): List of Profile
or SecureProfile
objects or a single Profile
or a single SecureProfile
.location
(Location, optional): A Location
object containing IP, URL, referer, and user-agent information.geo
(Geo, optional): A Geo
object containing geographical information like country and province.
Getting Recommendations
Use the recom
method to get recommendations based on user interactions, profiles, and geographical information.
from recompi import RecomPI, Profile, Geo
api = RecomPI(api_key="YOUR_CAMPAIGN_TOKEN")
response = api.recom(
labels=["click", "buy"],
profiles=Profile("user_id", "123"),
geo=Geo(
country="Iran",
province="Tehran",
),
)
print(response)
Parameters
labels
(list[str]): List of event labels for which recommendations are requested.profiles
(list[Profile|SecureProfile] or Profile|SecureProfile, optional): List of Profile
or SecureProfile
objects or a single Profile
or a single SecureProfile
.geo
(Geo, optional): A Geo
object containing geographical information.
Explanation of Response:
The response structure ({'click': {'18': 0.25, '19': 0.75}, 'buy': {'13': 0.89, '95': 0.11}}
) indicates:
- For the
click
label, the user is predicted to engage more with Tag.id = 19
(with a probability of 0.75
) compared to Tag.id = 18
(0.25
). - For the
buy
label, the user is likely to make a purchase with Tag.id = 13
(0.89
probability) rather than Tag.id = 95
(0.11
probability).
These predictions are derived from the user's past interactions (click
and buy
events) and other factors such as their profile attributes and geographical location. The recommendation engine uses this data to suggest items or actions that are likely to be of interest to the user, helping to optimize engagement or conversions based on predictive analytics.
Verifying API Connectivity
Use the verify
method to check if the API key and configuration are correct.
from recompi import RecomPI
api = RecomPI(api_key="YOUR_CAMPAIGN_TOKEN")
response = api.verify()
print("API is well configured and connected?", response.is_success())
Usage with SecureProfile
You can use SecureProfile
to ensure that sensitive information such as user IDs are hashed before being sent to the API. This adds an extra layer of security by obfuscating the actual IDs.
from recompi import RecomPI, Tag, SecureProfile, Location, Geo
api = RecomPI(api_key="YOUR_CAMPAIGN_TOKEN", hash_salt="SOME_HASH_SALT")
response = api.push(
label="click",
tags=[
Tag(id="1", name="Technology", desc="Technology News"),
Tag(
id="2",
name="Online Marketing Tools",
desc="Latest news on online marketing tools",
),
],
profiles=SecureProfile(name="user_id", id="123"),
location=Location(
ip="1.1.1.1",
url="https://www.example.com/some/path?param1=1¶m2=2",
referer="REFERER_URL",
useragent="USERAGENT",
),
geo=Geo(
country="Iran",
province="Tehran",
),
)
print(response)
Parameters
label
(str): A label for the event, e.g., "click".tags
(list[Tag]): List of Tag
objects representing metadata.profiles
(list[Profile|SecureProfile] or Profile|SecureProfile): List of Profile
or SecureProfile
objects or a single Profile
or a single SecureProfile
.location
(Location, optional): A Location
object containing IP, URL, referer, and user-agent information.geo
(Geo, optional): A Geo
object containing geographical information like country and province.
Additional Details:
- Initialization:
SecureProfile
is initialized with name
and id
. It extends the base Profile
to add the capability of hashing the id
. to_json
Method: This method converts the SecureProfile
instance to a JSON-compatible dictionary, hashing the id
if a hash_salt
is provided. This is useful for securely sending profile data.recom
: If you use SecureProfile
in the push
method, you must also use SecureProfile
to retrieve data with the recom
method. This ensures the consistency of hashed data between sending and retrieving.
Data Structures
Tag
Represents a tag with an ID, name, and description.
from recompi import Tag
tag = Tag(id="1", name="Technology", desc="Technology News")
Profile
Represents a user profile with an ID and name.
from recompi import Profile
profile = Profile(name="user_id", id="123")
print(profile.to_json())
SecureProfile
Represents a user profile with a secure ID and name.
from recompi import SecureProfile
profile = SecureProfile(name="user_id", id="123")
print(profile.to_json())
print(profile.to_json("SOME_HASH_SALT"))
Location
Represents a location with IP, URL, referer, and user-agent information.
from recompi import Location
location = Location(ip="1.1.1.1", url="https://www.example.com", referer="REFERER_URL", useragent="USERAGENT")
Geo
Represents geographical information with country and province.
from recompi import Geo
geo = Geo(country="Iran", province="Tehran")
