Format your Data (Content)

The Bloomreach API based Catalog Data Management allows you to send and manage your content search data. Your site's content data has to comply with the data format prescribed by Bloomreach to make it searchable along with the metadata and easy for Bloomreach to ingest.

Let’s first understand the following terms: items, catalogs, and collections.

Each piece of content is called an item, such as "Awesome Omelette Recipe" or "How to Prepare a Lasagna". Your content data form catalogs for specific types of content, such as Recipes, Blogs, or Videos. Collections gather the catalogs of a specific content type.

👍

If you are an existing customer using the earlier version of Content Search (site crawl based), we recommend you upgrade to our newer version of Content Search (API-based). To do so, you must prepare your data as per the specification on this page and integrate the pixels and API. View the Integration Steps here.

Items

Items are any piece of content or page on your live site that you want Bloomreach to index and return in search. While you can define attributes within your items as you wish, ensure that the items you define have the following components:

  • op determines how catalog data should be modified
  • path identifies an item record to be modified
  • Attributes describe the item, such as title, description, tags, etc. Attributes may be defined differently for each item. For example, a video could have an attribute “duration” defining the total duration of the video, but you would not have to include “duration” for blogs
  • Views (optional) allow you to display only a certain version of the content to specific user groups

Catalog

A catalog is simply a grouping of items. These items can be a collection of blog posts, news articles, videos, etc. Bloomreach understands and tracks your items using a catalog. A catalog has a unique name preconfigured that is also unique to a domain (if you have multiple sites). Furthermore, a catalog also has a unique identifier that is automatically generated. Catalogs are preconfigured in the Dashboard by Bloomreach, however, you can change the display name.

For example:

Homeoasis.com is a lifestyle, food and fashion site that has blog posts on various types of cooking recipes. Homeoasis is provided with a preconfigured catalog for “Best Potluck Recipes” with an unique identifier: “best_potluck_recipes_1”. This catalog contains many other recipes (items) such as “Potato Salad”, “Cheese Chicken Fritters”, etc. that have unique identifiers such as "Potato_Salad", "cheese_chicken_fritters", etc.

Attributes

op and path

Every item requires the op and path attributes.

  • op defines the type of operation to be performed on the catalog with this record. Possible values are “add” (which can also replace) and “remove”.
  • path identifies a specific item record, or a specific portion of an item record, to be operated on. To operate on an entire product record, the path value should be "/items/{item_id}", where item_id is a unique identifier. The item_id for a given content item should be the same in both your catalog data and your pixel.

@import (required for PDFs)

If your catalog is configured for document search (PDFs), you must include the @import attribute to extract the contents of the PDF.

Within this field, you must include the path, which is the relative FTP path to the PDF. This will extract “title” (the title of the PDF) and “body” (the text content parsed from the PDF) from the PDF as item attributes. If you have already provided values for “title” or “body” as item attributes, then those take precedence over the extracted values.

Example value: "@import":{ "path":"/pdfs/awesome_omelette.pdf" }

Custom attributes

You can create your own attributes. Attributes consist of a name and value; for example, an attribute named “title” with a value of “Awesome Omelette”. Some sample attributes are provided below:

Field nameDescriptionExample
titleThe actual title of the content that you are making, which is searchable.Awesome Omelette
urlThe url of the HTML page within which this content lies.https://www.homeoasis.com/recipe/awesome-omelette.html
descriptionThis is the body of your content. You can use it to capture the summary of the content piece.
publication_dateThe date when the content was published online.1556803380000
author_nameThe name of the author who wrote the content piece.John Smith

📘

Content search does not require items to have any specific attributes, but we recommend providing at least a title to ensure the item is searchable.

On the other hand, we recommend excluding attributes that are irrelevant to search. Sending attributes or information that are not relevant to your desired search experience will increase both search request latency and index generation time.

Format for item_id and custom attributes

❗️

Reserved attribute names

item_id and category are reserved names, and should not be used for custom attributes.

  • item_id name and attribute names may only use alphanumeric characters (A to Z, 0 to 9) or underscores ( _ )
  • Attribute names should not start with a number
  • Attribute values can be one of the following types:
    • string
    • integer
    • float
    • boolean
    • A homogeneous array of any types above
    • Objects are not currently supported, so if you have objects of arbitrary depths, you would need to flatten them out.
  • Max length of any attribute value should be 32 KB. For arrays, max length of any single value should be 32 KB

Examples:

Sample nameValid or not valid?
awesome_omelette_123valid
awesome:omelette_123not valid, ":" is not a valid character
prep_time_minsvalid
1st_prep_time_minsnot valid, starts with a number

Views

You can specify views to show different versions of the same content item to different viewers. This scenario requires a multi-view catalogs setup and is typically used in cases like Contracts, Price Lists, and Entitlements wherein you want to show different versions of the same content to different viewers. For example, you could use views to show specific content to logged-in or premium users only, or to show different content for different regions.

For sites in different languages, when you have different data for each language, you can use domain keys to distinguish between the sites.

To integrate content search with views, you will have to modify your pixel and catalog data. Refer to the Content Search Pixel Integration Scenarios to integrate the content search pixel.

Adding Views to Catalog Data

To specify views for an item, you must include the following fields:

  • View ID - Unique identifier linked to a specific view. The view ID must be unique from all other views. Example: “Basic”, “Premium”
  • View attributes - Item attributes defined for the view specified by the view ID. Attributes nested inside a view ID only apply to that view, while attributes nested outside of “views” apply to all views.
