Book recommender api written in flask framework

recommend-api

Book recommender api written in flask framework. The API is written for solving my diplom project work. I wanted this kind of API, but not found. So, I decided to write my own. It is free to use. You can apply this api to your own recommendation projects. Good luck!

For building this API, I used sklearn, pandas, numpy and flask.

How API works

• recommendation for books works based on user ratings
• using sklearn.neighbors.NearestNeighbors we find best suited books
• in future I'll try to add other advanced recommendation techniques

Endpoints

• api/books/all - returns all books
• api/books?title=BookTitle - returns the book (or multiple books) based on search. If not found then returns empty JSON array
• api/books/recommend?title=BookTitle returns JSON ARRAY recommended books based on searched book.
