GetUserRecommendations

Description

GVP 3.0 - DEPRECATED in next versions: This method will be migrated to GetChannelEditorialContents

If a user requests Editorial Recommendation and Open GVP is not connected or fails (we have a fallback in UNIAPI for this), we will look into the EditorialContents associated with the Channel that have GVP_MOVIES associated.

This is an equivalent call to the ‘classic’ one in UNIAPI, it will be used by GVP when receiving a GetUserRecommendations request from a ‘legacy’ device. One important feature for this call is that it works with a reduced overall content set, restricted to the items that are available in all devices calling this backwards-compatible API (because old-style devices forbid showing items that cannot be played on the device).

Workaround / special error code:

Has been detected that sometimes it’s impossible to provide recommendations using OpenGVP. These situations are:

• Trying to get recommendations for a only series channel

• Trying to get recommendations for a just created user, not present yet in opengvp data.

In these situations this operation will return a status code 3 (method unavailable). When this method is called through UNIAPI proxy call, this error code should be interpreted by LabOne as using old recommendation method logic to provide recommendations to caller. In other words, when status code 3 is returned by this method, UNIAPI getUserRecommendations method should have the same behavior that before (pre OpenGVP).
