Introduction Overview of the VKRA API and the future of AI-native commerce
VKRA is the monetization infrastructure for the Agentic Era. We provide a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) powered API that allows AI agents, LLM applications, and autonomous bots to discover and recommend relevant products contextually.
In a world where AI agents are becoming our primary interface for discovery and action, VKRA enables these agents to participate in commerce in a way that is helpful, high-intent, and privacy-preserving.
VKRA operates on industry-standard semantic search patterns to deliver high-relevance recommendations.
Context Ingestion : You send the natural language context of your agent's conversation to our API.
Semantic Matching : We use vector similarity search to find the most relevant products from a massive database of verified retailers.
Contextual Response : We return a structured list of products, complete with metadata, relevance scores, and human-readable explanations.
Compliant Tracking : Every recommendation includes a unique identifier for privacy-preserving attribution tracking.

The heart of VKRA is the /search endpoint. It handles natural language queries and returns high-intent product matches. It supports:
Hybrid Filtering : Combine semantic search with hard constraints like price range, merchant, or brand.
Progressive Streaming : Use Server-Sent Events (SSE) to deliver results in real-time as they are found.
Batch Processing : Handle multiple intent-signals in a single efficient request.
No PII : We never require or store Personally Identifiable Information.
Intent-Based : Recommendations are based solely on the context of the interaction.
Attribution First : Built-in support for major retail compliance requirements (Skimlinks, Amazon).
Simple REST API : Standard JSON patterns that work with any language.
Extensive Metadata : Get everything you need to render beautiful product cards.
Performance Focused : Low-latency responses designed for real-time agentic workflows.
