About this method

Retrieve frequently bought together items for a set of objectIDs.

You can’t use get-related-products fallbackParameters with Frequently Bought Together as it’s impossible to emulate based on search parameters alone. If there isn’t enough data for Frequently Bought Together, it’s better to show a different type of recommendation, for example, related products.

Examples

Read the Algolia CLI documentation for more information.

Parameters

requests
type: list of request object
Required

A list of request objects to execute.

requests ➔ request object

indexName
type: string
Required

The name of the target index.

objectID
type: string
Required

The objectID of the item to get recommendations for.

maxRecommendations
type: number

The number of recommendations to retrieve. Depending on the available recommendations and the other request parameters, the actual number of hits may be lower than that. If maxRecommendations isn’t provided or set to 0, all matching recommendations are returned, and no fallback request is performed.

threshold
type: number
Required

Threshold for the recommendations confidence score (between 0 and 100). Only recommendations with a greater score are returned.

queryParameters
type: Omit<SearchParameters, 'page' | 'hitsPerPage' | 'offset' | 'length'>

List of search parameters to send.

Response

This section shows the JSON response returned by the API. Each API client encapsulates this response inside objects specific to the programming language, so that the actual response might be different. You can view the response by using the getLogs method. Don’t rely on the order of attributes in the response, as JSON doesn’t guarantee the ordering of keys in objects.
