Firehose and Search
The field
imin:iminSearchId
links items found in the Firehose to items found in Search. Here follows an example:"imin:iminSearchId": "https://search.imin.co/facilities-api/v2/facility-uses/pulsedursley-FacilityUse-PULSEGYM",
This field can be used to:
- Cross-reference with Search analytics; and
- Aggregate near-identical items:
- When items are ingested into our Search app, we merge near-identical items together so that they can be combined in Search results.
- The
iminSearchId
, therefore, is an ID for the composite item that is ingested into Search. This is why you may find multiple items with differentid
s in Firehose, but the sameid
in Search. - Therefore, because these items will have the same
name
,activity
,organizer
, etc., you can use the Searchid
to aggregate near-identical items.
