Visually similar content

Returns the most similar items for an item within the dataset. The results are ordered by how similar they are to the target item. The number of results can optionally be specified by the limit parameter.

Results can be filtered using the metadata supplied when the content was created. Filtering syntax is described in the querying section.

The requested item (id) will always be the first item in results - providing you the metadata requested.
