GetRootRecommendationsByView

Description

Get a Recommendation from the GVP Platform. The GetRootRecommendationsByView 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 separated by Sources. Each source represent a kind of content are recommended.

1 - MostViewed

2 - BestRated

3 - Personal

4 - Editorial

Results are presented in groups inside a ViewSet. Each group of ViewSet represent each source. In the request, a parameter SOURCE can be defined to filter the recommended content, for exemple, if the request wants only the MostViewed Recommendation, send 1 in the source parameter. This filed accept all values (1,2,3,4) separated by comma.

This method is really similar to GetNodeRecommendation, the big diference is that in the method you don't need to send an specific node (ChannelId) to get a content.

The related methods are:

- GetFullView

- GetNodeRecommendations (Similar to this)

- GetRootRecommendationsByView

- GetRootRecommendationsCombined

And the legacy method:

- GetUserRecommendations

Notes: The OpenGVP can be active/desactive and configured in each Environment and Instance to be used. GetNodeRecommendations can be used in some node of channels, since from RootChannel and others.
