What does EasyUtil Recommendation Service do?

EasyUtil Recommendation web service provides a web API to make recommendations in the format of "people who liked this item also liked those items".

The service's engine generates recommendations based on the data a client site provides to the engine. The data is fed into the engine using a "this user likes this item" type of request. The items liked by the same user are considered to be related to each other. This information can be retrieved by using a "people who liked this item also liked which items" kind of request. 

There is no parsing of the submitted data for any additional meaning, therefore the terms "user" "item" "liked" can mean different things for different applications. A client site can choose how to model its data to get relevant relationship out of this service.

Each client site's data is kept in a separate database. There is no cross-referencing of different client site's data. The data can be encrypted or scrambled before submitted to the engine, as long as the relationship between the data doesn't change.

The service is implemented with REST. To use the service just follow the steps below.

EasyUtil Recommendation service is still in beta. Please see our terms of service.
