Key Features

• AI-Powered Category Generation: Efficiently generate relevant categories for products with relevance scores.
• Multi-language Support: Generate product categories in multiple languages.
• Customizable Output: Control the number of categories returned and the voice tone.
• Context-Aware Categorization: Provide context to improve category relevance.
• Robust Polling for Results: Polling-based API response handling with customizable intervals.
• API Availability and Quota Check: Check API availability and current usage quotas with SharpAPI's endpoints.

Usage

You can inject the EcommerceProductCategoriesService class to access product categories generation functionality. For best results, especially with batch processing, use Laravel's queuing system to optimize job dispatch and result polling.

Basic Workflow

1. Dispatch Job: Send a product name to the API using productCategories, which returns a status URL.
2. Poll for Results: Use fetchResults($statusUrl) to poll until the job completes or fails.
3. Process Result: After completion, retrieve the results from the SharpApiJob object returned.

Note: Each job typically takes a few seconds to complete. Once completed successfully, the status will update to success, and you can process the results as JSON, array, or object format.

Controller Example

Here is an example of how to use EcommerceProductCategoriesService within a Laravel controller:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use GuzzleHttp\Exception\GuzzleException;
use SharpAPI\EcommerceProductCategories\EcommerceProductCategoriesService;

class ProductController extends Controller
{
    protected EcommerceProductCategoriesService $productCategoriesService;

    public function __construct(EcommerceProductCategoriesService $productCategoriesService)
    {
        $this->productCategoriesService = $productCategoriesService;
    }

    /**
     * @throws GuzzleException
     */
    public function getProductCategories(string $productName)
    {
        $statusUrl = $this->productCategoriesService->productCategories(
            $productName,
            'English',   // optional language
            5,   // optional maximum quantity
            'Tech-savvy',   // optional voice tone
            'Electronics, Gadgets'   // optional context
        );
        
        $result = $this->productCategoriesService->fetchResults($statusUrl);

        return response()->json($result->getResultJson());
    }
}

Handling Guzzle Exceptions

All requests are managed by Guzzle, so it's helpful to be familiar with Guzzle Exceptions.

Example:

use GuzzleHttp\Exception\ClientException;

try {
    $statusUrl = $this->productCategoriesService->productCategories('Sony PlayStation 5', 'English', 5);
} catch (ClientException $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}

Optional Configuration

You can customize the configuration by setting the following environment variables in your .env file:

SHARP_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
SHARP_API_JOB_STATUS_POLLING_WAIT=180
SHARP_API_JOB_STATUS_USE_POLLING_INTERVAL=true
SHARP_API_JOB_STATUS_POLLING_INTERVAL=10
SHARP_API_BASE_URL=https://sharpapi.com/api/v1
