constructor-io 1.2.0

Constructor.IO Python Client

Constructor.io Python Client

A Python client for Constructor.io. Constructor.io provides search as a service that optimizes results using artificial intelligence (including natural language processing, re-ranking to optimize for conversions, and user personalization).

Requirements

Requesting results from your back-end can be useful in order to control result rendering logic on your server, or augment/hydrate results with data from another system. However, a back-end integration has additional requirements compared to a front-end integration. Please review Back End API Integration for more detail.

1. Install

pip install constructor-io

2. Retrieve an API key and token

You can find this in your Constructor.io dashboard. Contact sales if you'd like to sign up, or support if you believe your company already has an account.

3. Implement the Client

Once imported, an instance of the client can be created as follows:

from constructor_io.constructor_io import ConstructorIO

constructorio = ConstructorIO({
    "api_key": "YOUR API KEY",
})

4. Retrieve Results

After instantiating an instance of the client, four modules will be exposed as properties to help retrieve data from Constructor.io: search, browse, autocomplete, and recommendations.

Full API documentation is available on Github Pages
