TWIGZ Backend API Documentation

Overview

The Social Feed API provides social networking features including following customers and stores, activity feeds, product interactions, and social discovery. The feed respects privacy settings - private accounts only show content to followers. Location: convex/customers/feed.ts

Privacy Controls

The feed system respects customer privacy settings:

Private accounts (default): Content only visible to followers
Public accounts: Content visible to all users
Users can always see their own content regardless of privacy settings

  targetCustomerId: "c987654321"
});

Get Feed

Retrieve personalized product-focused activity feed for a customer. The feed respects privacy settings and only shows content the user is authorized to see. Uses custom cursor-based pagination where the cursor is a timestamp string.

customerId

Id<'customers'>

Customer ID (defaults to authenticated user if omitted)

paginationOpts

PaginationOptions

required

Pagination options with numItems (1-100) and cursor (timestamp string or null for first page)

const feed = await convex.query(api.customers.feed.getFeed, {
  paginationOpts: { numItems: 20, cursor: null }
});

// Load next page
const nextPage = await convex.query(api.customers.feed.getFeed, {
  paginationOpts: { numItems: 20, cursor: feed.continueCursor }
});

Feed Content Types

The feed includes these activity types (filtered by privacy):

Price Updates: From followed stores and on liked products
Product Likes: From followed customers (only if you also like the product)
Product Shares: From followed customers
Direct Shares: Shared directly to you (always visible regardless of privacy)
New Products: From followed stores
