# Tracking Interface

Tracking data helps FactFinder Search learn automatically from user behavior.

The data provided through this interface supports several use cases, including events such as clicks on detail pages, adding products to the shopping cart, and purchases. This information forms the basis for automated search optimization and helps improve results over time.

Information about product clicks, shopping basket events, and purchases is required for the Personalization module, which provides tailored search results for each user. Purchase data can also be used by the Recommendation Engine. More detail is available in the corresponding [documentation](https://ng-demo.fact-finder.de/fact-finder/swagger-ui.html#/tracking).

The events you pass to FactFinder depend on your needs and objectives. ASO requires, at a minimum, shopping-basket and purchase events. Tracking product-detail clicks is recommended. Clicks provide an additional behavioral signal for ASO and enable click-based tracking and analytics insight. [Automatic Search Optimization (ASO)](/docs/modules/aso.md) documents how ASO records and weights click, shopping-cart, and checkout signals. The following events are supported:

* Clicking on the product details page
* Placing a product into the shopping basket
* Purchasing a product
* A user is logging into the shop
* Clicking on a product suggested by the Recommendation Engine
* User feedback for the search results
* Shop Cachehit

Personalization only works when a valid session ID is sent with each search request.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.fact-finder.com/integration/tracking-interface.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
