Collecting Data</h2><p>Next, let's collect training data for this Engine. By default, the E-Commerce Recommendation Engine Template supports 2 types of entities and 2 events: <strong>user</strong> and <strong>item</strong>; events <strong>view</strong> and <strong>buy</strong>. An item has the <strong>categories</strong> property, which is a list of category names (String). A user can view and buy an item. The specical <strong>constraint</strong> entiy with entityId <strong>unavailableItems</strong> defines a list of unavailable items and is taken into account in realtime during serving.</p><p>In summary, this template requires '$set' user event, '$set' item event, user-view-item events, user-buy-item event and '$set' constraint event.</p><div class="alert-message info"><p>This template can easily be customized to consider other user-to-it em events.</p></div><p>You can send these events to PredictionIO Event Server in real-time easily by making a HTTP request or through the provided SDK. Please see <a href="/appintegration/">App Integration Overview</a> for more details how to integrate your app with SDK.</p><p>Let's try sending events to EventServer with the following <code>curl</code> commands (The corresponding SDK code is showed in other tabs).</p><p>Replace <code><ACCCESS_KEY></code> by the Access Key generated in above steps. Note that <code>localhost:7070</code> is the default URL of the Event Server.</p><p>For convenience, set your access key to the shell variable, run:</p><p><code>$ ACCESS_KEY=<ACCESS_KEY></code></p> <p><a href="#"></a></p> <p>For example, when a new user with id "u0" is created in your app on time <code>2014-11-02T09:39:45.618-08:00</code> (current time will be used if eventTime is not specified), you can send a <code>$set</code> event for this user. To send this e vent, run the following <code>curl</code> command:</p><div class="tabs"> <ul class="control"> <li data-lang="json"><a href="#tab-863b24e0-72a9-4ed6-a9b3-3f4e84ac53fb">REST API</a></li> <li data-lang="python"><a href="#tab-8f78e9b4-12ce-4671-8d94-cb07e2c3629e">Python SDK</a></li> <li data-lang="php"><a href="#tab-57993778-c922-4b68-b336-b254973fec15">PHP SDK</a></li> <li data-lang="ruby"><a href="#tab-d12a1d04-639c-44be-94c3-b8405401ab3d">Ruby SDK</a></li> <li data-lang="java"><a href="#tab-4b3b777e-eb2d-4d27-beec-a25153e7a696">Java SDK</a></li> </ul> <div data-tab="REST API" data-lang="json" id="tab-863b24e0-72a9-4ed6-a9b3-3f4e84ac53fb"> <div class="highlight shell"> <table style="border-spacing: 0"><tbody><tr> <td class="gutter gl" style="text-align: right"><pre class="lineno">1 -2 -3 -4 -5 -6 -7 -8</pre></td> <td class="code"><pre><span class="gp">$ </span>curl -i -X POST http://localhost:7070/events.json?accessKey<span class="o">=</span><span class="nv">$ACCESS_KEY</span> <span class="se">\</span> --H <span class="s2">"Content-Type: application/json"</span> <span class="se">\</span> --d <span class="s1">'{ -
