✨ Features

• Thin JavaScript wrapper around the Recombee API
• Supported endpoints: Interactions, Recommendations & Search
• UMD-compatible
• TypeScript definitions included

🚀 Getting Started

There are two ways to include the library in your project:

🔌 Install via code snippet

You can add the following <script> tag into your HTML file:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/recombee-api-client.min.js"></script>

After this script is included, you can access the client using the global recombee object (also available as window.recombee).

📦 Install via package manager

If you prefer, you can also use a package manager:

npm install recombee-js-api-client
# or
yarn add recombee-js-api-client
# or
pnpm add recombee-js-api-client
# or
bun add recombee-js-api-client

Afterwards, you can import the recombee object:

import recombee from 'recombee-js-api-client'

🏗️ Example

With the recombee object, you can send user-item interactions and receive recommendations as follows:

// Initialize the API client with the ID of your database and the associated PUBLIC token
export const client = new recombee.ApiClient(
  'database-id',
  '...db-public-token...',
  {
    // the region of your database (default: 'eu-west')
    region: 'us-west',
  },
);

// Send interactions
client.send(
  new recombee.AddDetailView('user-4395', 'item-129', {
    cascadeCreate: true,
    recommId: '23eaa09b-0e24-4487-ba9c-8e255feb01bb',
  }),
);

// Request recommendations
client
  .send(
    new recombee.RecommendItemsToItem('item-356', 'user-13434', 5, {
      returnProperties: true,
      includedProperties: ['title'],
    }),
  )
  .then((response) => {
    // `recommId` needs to be sent with interactions based on recommendations
    console.log(response.recommId);

    // The `recomms` object contains the `id` (and `values` if `returnProperties` is true)
    response.recomms.forEach((item) => {
      console.log(`ID: ${item.id}, Title: ${item.values.title}`);
    });
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.log(error);
    // use fallback...
  });
