For example, if you want to return products 30 through 60, set the value to 30. The maximum value is 1000. Example: count=30 Note: This is for Search and Browse only. When using pagination this parameter together with st is required.
includeSimilarUsers	Optional	True/false. Returns similar users in the response. Use similarUsersStrategy to control which strategy to use. The default is false. Example: includeSimilarUsers=true
recentlyPurchased	Optional	Products the shopper has purchased in the current session. This can be a single product ID or list of product IDs.

recentlyViewed	Optional	List product IDs of the product detail pages viewed by the shopper in the current session. Include time stamps in milliseconds using UTC time zone for each view. The timestamp field must be provided. Use the pipe "\|" character to separate multiple product IDs and time stamps. If there are multiple views for a product ID, the time stamps can be concatenated using a semicolon. Example: recentlyViewed=pid1:1409871261000;1409871561000\|pid2:1409761261000
recentSearches	Optional	Recent searches performed by the shopper. Separate multiple searches by using the the pipe "\|" character. This parameter is required for recs on searches. Example: recentSearches=brown shoes\|blue shoes

similarUsersCount	Optional	Number of similar users to return. Default: 30 Example: similarUsersCount=50
similarUsersStrategy	Optional	Choose the strategy to use when finding similar users when includeSimilarUsers=true. Valid values: attributeOnly or attributeBehavioral. Default = attributeOnly Example: similarUsersStrategy=attributeOnly
useCookie	Optional	Use recently viewed product information from the RichRelevance cookie as a basis for recommendations along with manually-given recommendations. Default is yes. Example: useCookie=yes
userAttribute	Optional	Custom keys and values that describe the current shopper. Separate information using a semicolon and the pipe "\|" character. Example: userAttribute=eye_color:blue;green\|hair_color:brown
userId	Required	User ID. A unique string to identify each shopper (user). All shopper behavior is stored using this key. It is case-sensitive, and should be the same user ID sent to RichRelevance in other applications. Example: userId=0982347
