Recording multiple item interaction events with event value data

After you create an Item interactions dataset and an event tracker for your dataset group, you are ready to record item interaction events. The following example shows how to record multiple item interaction events with different event types and different event values.

When you configure a solution, if your Item interactions dataset includes EVENT_TYPE and EVENT_VALUE fields, you can set a specific value as a threshold to exclude records from training. For more information, see Choosing the item interaction data used for training.

Python
import boto3
import json

personalize_events = boto3.client(service_name='personalize-events')

personalize_events.put_events(
    trackingId = 'tracking_id',
    userId= 'user555',
    sessionId = 'session1',
    eventList = [{
        'eventId': 'event1',
        'sentAt': 1553631760,
        'eventType': 'like',
        'properties': json.dumps({
            'itemId': 'choc-panama',
            'eventValue': 4
            })
        }, {
        'eventId': 'event2',
        'sentAt': 1553631782,
        'eventType': 'rating',
        'properties': json.dumps({
            'itemId': 'movie_ten',
            'eventValue': 3
            })
        }]

Note

The properties keys use camel case names that match the fields in the Interactions schema. For example, if the field 'NUM_RATINGS' is defined in the Interactions schema, the property key should be numRatings.
