Smart target API not returning promotions

Question

I am trying to get all the promotions created for a page. I am using the below code:

QueryBuilder querybuilder = new QueryBuilder("catalog01", "en-US", puburi, regions);
querybuilder.addCriteria(new PageCriteria("1-1-64"));

ResultSet results = querybuilder.execute();

Above code is returning empty value for results.getPromotions(). Perhaps I can assume promotions are created based on some trigger, so to get the promotions I am required to pass the Triggers as a claim. Can anyone suggest if it a correct assumption. If yes, Is there a way to get all the promotions created for a particular page. I can get Items with results.getItems(), but that is all the items published in the fredhopper.

Answer 1

The SmartTarget query in your question does not add any trigger values and terefore you will only get those promotions which have no triggers.

While it is a good idea to make a test promotion without triggers you also have to use the AmbientDataHelper to get the triggers.

// get the triggers from ADF
ClaimStore claimStore = AmbientDataContext.CurrentClaimStore;
string triggers = AmbientDataHelper.GetTriggers(claimStore);

// make  query builder and feed the triggers into it
var queryBuilder = new QueryBuilder();
queryBuilder.Parse(triggers);
