Parameters:

• productDescription (string, required): The property/product description to categorize
• maxCategories (number, optional): Maximum number of categories to return (default: 5)

Returns:

• Promise: Status URL for polling the job result

Response Format

The API returns categories with relevance scores (weight: 0-10):

{
  "categories": [
    {
      "name": "Luxury Beach Resort",
      "weight": 10,
      "subcategories": ["All-Inclusive", "Spa Resort", "Romantic Getaway"]
    },
    {
      "name": "Boutique Hotel",
      "weight": 7,
      "subcategories": ["Beachfront", "Adults Only"]
    },
    {
      "name": "Honeymoon Destination",
      "weight": 9,
      "subcategories": ["Romantic", "Luxury"]
    }
  ]
}

Weight Scale:

• 10: Perfect match
• 8-9: Highly relevant
• 6-7: Moderately relevant
• 4-5: Somewhat relevant
• 1-3: Slightly relevant

Examples

Basic Categorization

const { SharpApiHospitalityCategoriesService } = require('@sharpapi/sharpapi-node-hospitality-categories');

const service = new SharpApiHospitalityCategoriesService(process.env.SHARP_API_KEY);

const property = 'Budget-friendly city hotel near train station with free WiFi and breakfast';

service.categorizeProduct(property)
  .then(statusUrl => service.fetchResults(statusUrl))
  .then(result => {
    const categories = result.getResultJson();
    console.log('📂 Property Categories:');
    categories.forEach((cat, index) => {
      console.log(`${index + 1}. ${cat.name} (relevance: ${cat.weight}/10)`);
      if (cat.subcategories) {
        console.log(`   Subcategories: ${cat.subcategories.join(', ')}`);
      }
    });
  })
  .catch(error => console.error('Categorization failed:', error));

Batch Property Categorization

const service = new SharpApiHospitalityCategoriesService(process.env.SHARP_API_KEY);

const properties = [
  'Mountain ski lodge with heated pool and après-ski bar',
  'Downtown business hotel with conference facilities and gym',
  'Family-friendly resort with kids club and water park',
  'Historic boutique hotel in restored Victorian mansion'
];

async function categorizeAll(properties) {
  const categorized = await Promise.all(
    properties.map(async (property) => {
      const statusUrl = await service.categorizeProduct(property, 3);
      const result = await service.fetchResults(statusUrl);
      const categories = result.getResultJson();

      return {
        property,
        primary_category: categories[0]?.name,
        all_categories: categories.map(c => c.name)
      };
    })
  );

  return categorized;
}

const results = await categorizeAll(properties);
console.log('Categorized properties:', results);

Travel Platform Integration

const service = new SharpApiHospitalityCategoriesService(process.env.SHARP_API_KEY);

async function enrichPropertyListing(property) {
  const fullDescription = `
    ${property.name}
    ${property.description}
    Amenities: ${property.amenities.join(', ')}
    Location: ${property.location}
  `;

  const statusUrl = await service.categorizeProduct(fullDescription);
  const result = await service.fetchResults(statusUrl);
  const categories = result.getResultJson();

  // Get high-relevance categories
  const primaryCategories = categories
    .filter(cat => cat.weight >= 7)
    .map(cat => cat.name);

  // Extract tags from subcategories
  const tags = categories
    .flatMap(cat => cat.subcategories || [])
    .filter((tag, index, self) => self.indexOf(tag) === index);

  return {
    ...property,
    categories: primaryCategories,
    tags: tags,
    searchable_text: [...primaryCategories, ...tags].join(' '),
    categorization_confidence: categories[0]?.weight || 0
  };
}

const property = {
  id: 'PROP-12345',
  name: 'Seaside Paradise Resort',
  description: 'Luxury oceanfront resort with private beach',
  amenities: ['Pool', 'Spa', 'Restaurant', 'Bar'],
  location: 'Cancun, Mexico'
};

const enrichedProperty = await enrichPropertyListing(property);
console.log('Enriched listing:', enrichedProperty);

Smart Search Filter Generation

const service = new SharpApiHospitalityCategoriesService(process.env.SHARP_API_KEY);

async function generateSearchFilters(propertyDescriptions) {
  const allCategories = new Map();

  for (const description of propertyDescriptions) {
    const statusUrl = await service.categorizeProduct(description);
    const result = await service.fetchResults(statusUrl);
    const categories = result.getResultJson();

    categories.forEach(cat => {
      if (!allCategories.has(cat.name)) {
        allCategories.set(cat.name, 0);
      }
      allCategories.set(cat.name, allCategories.get(cat.name) + 1);
    });
  }

  // Convert to filter options
  const filters = Array.from(allCategories.entries())
    .map(([category, count]) => ({
      value: category.toLowerCase().replace(/\s+/g, '_'),
      label: category,
      count: count
    }))
    .sort((a, b) => b.count - a.count);

  return filters;
}

const sampleDescriptions = [
  'Beach resort with water sports...',
  'Mountain lodge with skiing...',
  'City hotel with conference rooms...'
];

const searchFilters = await generateSearchFilters(sampleDescriptions);
console.log('Available search filters:', searchFilters);
