GetRootRecommendationsCombined

Description

Get a Recommendation from the GVP Platform. The GetRootRecommendationsCombined is a ByPass method to use the OpenGVP to get all contents analysed and that is the recommendation for the connected user.

The suggestion is made in the OpenGVP and sent to the UNIAPI in a JSON format.

All kinds of recommendation are combined in the same result with a SOURCE parameter added in the result.

SOURCES available:

   1 - MostViewed
   2 - BestRated
   3 - Personal
   4 - Editorial.

This method is similar to GetRootRecommendationsByView but in the same ViewSet.

If Editorial recommendations are requested, that is, the value 4 is included in the comma-separated list inside in the sources input parameter at any position, they are the priority recommendations to be processed and to be included in the method response. Other requested recommendation types (sources) different than Editorial are processed and included in the method response in the order than they are included in the sources input parameter.

The related methods are:

- GetFullView

- GetNodeRecommendations

- GetRootRecommendationsByView

- GetRootRecommendationsCombined

And the legacy method:

- GetUserRecommendations

Notes: The OpenGVP can be active/desactive and configured in each Environment and Instance to be used. GetRootRecommendationsCombined return only contents based on RootChannel.
