Test Bloomreach Algorithms via API

This use case covers how to test the changes made to Bloomreach recall algorithms via third-party AB testing tools.

Features used

We suggest that you go through the below guides to better understand this use case:

API Controls: This guide lists all the parameters that you can send in the front-end API calls to change the algorithm settings.

How to implement use case

Follow the steps given below:

1. Prepare AB test calls

To prepare the test calls, append the respective algorithm mode parameters to the front-end API call. In this example, we are testing Text Match precision mode against LLM-based precision mode.
