​
Dappier AI Recommendations API

The Dappier AI Recommendations API uses the following endpoint: 
POST https://api.dappier.com/app/v2/search?data_model_id={data_model_id}
This endpoint allows applications to retrieve personalized and real-time content based on a query. It fetches news, updates, and analysis from top publishers, making it an excellent tool for building an AI-powered sports news aggregator.

​
Usage in Python

The API can be used to fetch the latest sports news with a simple function call: 
response = app.get_ai_recommendations(
    query="latest sports news",
    data_model_id="dm_01jagy9nqaeer9hxx8z1sk1jx6",  # Sports News Model
    similarity_top_k=5,
    ref="sportsnaut.com",
    num_articles_ref=2,
    search_algorithm="most_recent"
)

​
Parameters

  • query (str): The user-provided search query (e.g., "latest sports news").
  • data_model_id (str): The Sports News Model ID from the Dappier Marketplace.
  • similarity_top_k (int): The number of articles to return (default: 9).
  • ref (str): The domain to prioritize (e.g., "sportsnaut.com").
  • num_articles_ref (int): The number of guaranteed articles from the chosen domain.
  • search_algorithm (str): "semantic" for contextual matching or "most_recent" for sorting by latest articles.
In our Sports News Summarizer, we will use this API to retrieve real-time sports news.
