Loop54 Search is a learning search engine for e-commerce. It helps online shoppers find what they’re looking for, and allows them to explore a wider range of relevant products in a retailer’s catalogue.
The engine exposes a REST-like web API used for searching, filtering, tracking user behaviour and any custom features configured for a particular installation. The functions are called using HTTP POST requests with a set of JSON request parameters, after which the engine responds with JSON data.
All examples in this guide use the engine at helloworld.54proxy.com. It uses the products in products.json, and you can check out the results at the following link: HelloWorld demo. This demo implements most features in the documentation.
For some of the most common platforms, libraries are available in order to streamline the implementation process. We have connectors for simple integrations with the following programming languages: Javascript, PHP, .NET and Java
