Get known items of a user

Hi,

Is there a way to get the known items of a user from the Oryx ML API (or Java function)?

Thanks.

Jason

Hm, no, there isn't, but the data structure exists (unless disabled). If there's a reasonable use case for it this could be added as an endpoint.

What's the name of the data structure?

The use case is that, in order to "visually verify" the recommended results, it's nice to get the list of items consumed by the user (i.e., the known items).

Thanks.

I mean that it's internal to the service, not exposed as an endpoint. Although that wouldn't be hard. Let me put it on my radar as a feature request.

Have a look at this change -- if you're in a position to build and try it be my guest!

Great news. Thanks a lot for your swift response!

Yes, I would love to give a try and will let you know (it may take couple of days).

Thanks again!
