Constructor's Recommendations Platform provides the speed, intelligent ranking, and real-time optimization necessary to drive conversions.
Constructor supports integrating with our Recommendations Platform via our RESTful API to ensure maximum compatibility with all existing customer front-end recommendation UIs.
API endpoints
For ease of integration & scalability, Constructor Recommendations utilize two related concepts: pods and strategies.
Pods represent a specific location on a page or set of pages (template) where recommendations may be rendered. A page may have one or more pods. You may have several pods on the homepage, a pod on the product detail page, or in an email campaign.
Strategies represent a particular algorithm used to generate recommendations. Currently, a pod can be assigned a (single) strategy, but the capability is possible in the future to support multiple strategies in a single pod. Example strategies might be "Recently viewed items," "Alternative items," etc.

Creating pods via API
There is not yet a customer-facing API for pod creation and configuration. To define the pods for your app or web property, reach out to [email protected] or in your dedicated Slack channel.
