Recommend more like this
With the catalogue embedded, a recommendation is one call: give me the records most like this one.
Ask for the neighbours
Point the related lookup at any record and it returns the closest others, ranked by similarity — the “you may also like” strip under a product or article. Open Wardens of the Pale and the closest books line up underneath, same-genre first.
One request — the record's id in, its neighbours back:
GET https://api.searchstack.dev/related/Demo/books/1/{record-id}?size=6
X-API-Key: {your key}
{
"results": [
{ "name": "North Light", "@text_score": 0.91 },
{ "name": "The Salt Path Home","@text_score": 0.88 }
]
}
Let clicks sharpen it
When a visitor clicks a recommendation, record that click against the query. The results then lean toward what readers actually choose next — no model to train by hand.
