You can install EcommerceTools and its dependencies via PyPi by entering pip3 install ecommercetools in your terminal, or !pip3 install ecommercetools within a Jupyter notebook cell.


Modules


Transactions

  1. Load sample transaction items data

If you want to get started with the transactions, products, and customers features, you can use the load_sample_data() function to load a set of real world data. This imports the transaction items from widely-used Online Retail dataset and reformats it ready for use by EcommerceTools.

from ecommercetools import utilities

transaction_items = utilities.load_sample_data()
transaction_items.head()
order_id sku description quantity order_date unit_price customer_id country line_price

  1. Create a transaction items dataframe

The utilities module includes a range of tools that allow you to format data, so it can be used within other EcommerceTools functions. The load_transaction_items() function is used to create a Pandas dataframe of formatted transactional item data. When loading your transaction items data, all you need to do is define the column mappings, and the function will reformat the dataframe accordingly.

import pandas as pd
from ecommercetools import utilities

transaction_items = utilities.load_transaction_items('transaction_items_non_standard_names.csv',
                                 date_column='InvoiceDate',
                                 order_id_column='InvoiceNo',
                                 customer_id_column='CustomerID',
                                 sku_column='StockCode',
                                 quantity_column='Quantity',
                                 unit_price_column='UnitPrice'
                                 )
transaction_items.to_csv('transaction_items.csv', index=False)
print(transaction_items.head())

  1. Create a transactions dataframe

The get_transactions() function takes the formatted Pandas dataframe of transaction items and returns a Pandas dataframe of aggregated transaction data, which includes features identifying the order number.

import pandas as pd
from ecommercetools import customers

transaction_items = pd.read_csv('transaction_items.csv')
transactions = transactions.get_transactions(transaction_items)
transactions.to_csv('transactions.csv', index=False)
print(transactions.head())

5. Create an RFM (H) dataset

This is an extension of the regular Recency, Frequency, Monetary value (RFM) model that includes an additional parameter "H" for heterogeneity. This shows the number of unique SKUs purchased by each customer. While typically unassociated with targeting, this value can be very useful in identifying which customers should probably be buying a broader mix of products than they currently are, as well as spotting those who may have stopped buying certain items.

from ecommercetools import customers

rfm_df = customers.get_rfm_segments(customers_df)
rfm_df.head()

7. Customer ABC segmentation

from ecommercetools import customers

abc_df = customers.get_abc_segments(customers_df, months=12, abc_class_name='abc_class_12m', abc_rank_name='abc_rank_12m')

4 12350.0 D 1.0

8. Predict customer AOV, CLV, and orders

EcommerceTools allows you to predict the AOV, Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) and expected number of orders via the Gamma-Gamma and BG/NBD models from the excellent Lifetimes package. By passing the dataframe of transactions from get_transactions() to the get_customer_predictions() function, EcommerceTools will fit the BG/NBD and Gamma-Gamma models and predict the AOV, order quantity, and CLV for each customer in the defined number of future days after the end of the observation period.

customer_predictions = customers.get_customer_predictions(transactions_df, 
                                                          observation_period_end='2011-12-09',

NLP

1. Generate text summaries

The get_summaries() function of the nlp module takes a Pandas dataframe containing text and returns a machine-generated summary of the content using a Huggingface Transformers pipeline via PyTorch. To use this feature, first load your Pandas dataframe and import the nlp module from ecommercetools.

import pandas as pd
from ecommercetools import nlp 

pd.set_option('max_colwidth', 1000)
df = pd.read_csv('text.csv')
df.head()

Specify the name of the Pandas dataframe, the column containing the text you wish to summarise (i.e. product_description), and specify a column name in which to store the machine-generated summary. The min_length and max_length arguments control the number of words generated, while the do_sample argument controls whether the generated text is completely unique (do_sample=False) or extracted from the text (do_sample=True).

df = nlp.get_summaries(df, 'product_description', 'sampled_summary', min_length=50, max_length=100, do_sample=True)
df = nlp.get_summaries(df, 'product_description', 'unsampled_summary', min_length=50, max_length=100, do_sample=False)
df = nlp.get_summaries(df, 'product_description', 'unsampled_summary_20_to_30', min_length=20, max_length=30, do_sample=False)

Since the model used for text summarisation is very large (1.2 GB plus), this function will take some time to complete. Once loaded, summaries are generated within a second or two per piece of text, so it is advisable to try smaller volumes of data initially.

SEO

1. Discover XML sitemap locations

The get_sitemaps() function takes the location of a robots.txt file (always stored at the root of a domain), and returns the URLs of any XML sitemaps listed within.

from ecommercetools import seo

sitemaps = seo.get_sitemaps("http://www.flyandlure.org/robots.txt")
print(sitemaps)

2. Get an XML sitemap

The get_dataframe() function allows you to download the URLs in an XML sitemap to a Pandas dataframe. If the sitemap contains child sitemaps, each of these will be retrieved. You can save the Pandas dataframe to CSV in the usual way.

from ecommercetools import seo

df = seo.get_sitemap("http://flyandlure.org/sitemap.xml")
print(df.head())
loc changefreq priority domain sitemap_name
0 http://flyandlure.org/ hourly 1.0 flyandlure.org http://www.flyandlure.org/sitemap.xml
1 http://flyandlure.org/about monthly 1.0 flyandlure.org http://www.flyandlure.org/sitemap.xml
2 http://flyandlure.org/terms monthly 1.0 flyandlure.org http://www.flyandlure.org/sitemap.xml

4 http://flyandlure.org/copyright monthly 1.0 flyandlure.org http://www.flyandlure.org/sitemap.xml

3. Get Core Web Vitals from PageSpeed Insights

The get_core_web_vitals() function retrieves the Core Web Vitals metrics for a list of sites from the Google PageSpeed Insights API and returns results in a Pandas dataframe. The function requires a a Google PageSpeed Insights API key.

from ecommercetools import seo

pagespeed_insights_key = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
urls = ['https://www.bbc.co.uk', 'https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer']
df = seo.get_core_web_vitals(pagespeed_insights_key, urls)
print(df.head())

4. Get Google Knowledge Graph data

The get_knowledge_graph() function returns the Google Knowledge Graph data for a given search term. This requires the use of a Google Knowledge Graph API key. By default, the function returns output in a Pandas dataframe, but you can pass the output="json" argument if you wish to receive the JSON data back.

from ecommercetools import seo

knowledge_graph_key = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
knowledge_graph = seo.get_knowledge_graph(knowledge_graph_key, "tesla", output="dataframe")
print(knowledge_graph)

5. Get Google Search Console API data

The query_google_search_console() function runs a search query on the Google Search Console API and returns data in a Pandas dataframe. This function requires a JSON client secrets key with access to the Google Search Console API.

from ecommercetools import seo

key = "google-search-console.json"
site_url = "http://flyandlure.org"
payload = {
    'startDate': "2019-01-01",
    'endDate': "2019-12-31",
    'dimensions': ["page", "device", "query"],
    'rowLimit': 100,
    'startRow': 0
}

df = seo.query_google_search_console(key, site_url, payload)
print(df.head())

Fetching all results from Google Search Console

To fetch all results, set fetch_all to True. This will automatically paginate through your Google Search Console data and return all results. Be aware that if you do this you may hit Google's quota limit if you run a query over an extended period, or have a busy site with lots of page or query dimensions.

from ecommercetools import seo

key = "google-search-console.json"
site_url = "http://flyandlure.org"
payload = {
    'startDate': "2019-01-01",
    'endDate': "2019-12-31",
    'dimensions': ["page", "device", "query"],
    'rowLimit': 25000,
    'startRow': 0
}

df = seo.query_google_search_console(key, site_url, payload, fetch_all=True)
print(df.head())
Comparing two time periods in Google Search Console
payload_before = {
    'startDate': "2021-08-11",
    'endDate': "2021-08-31",
    'dimensions': ["page","query"],    
}

payload_after = {
    'startDate': "2021-07-21",
    'endDate': "2021-08-10",
    'dimensions': ["page","query"],    
}

df = seo.query_google_search_console_compare(key, site_url, payload_before, payload_after, fetch_all=False)
df.sort_values(by='clicks_change', ascending=False).head()

6. Get the number of "indexed" pages

The get_indexed_pages() function uses the "site:" prefix to search Google for the number of pages "indexed". This is very approximate and may not be a perfect representation, but it's usually a good guide of site "size" in the absence of other data.

from ecommercetools import seo

urls = ['https://www.bbc.co.uk', 'https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer', 'http://flyandlure.org']
df = seo.get_indexed_pages(urls)
print(df.head())
url indexed_pages
2 http://flyandlure.org 2090
1 https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer 215000
0 https://www.bbc.co.uk 12700000

7. Get keyword suggestions from Google Autocomplete

The google_autocomplete() function returns a set of keyword suggestions from Google Autocomplete. The include_expanded=True argument allows you to expand the number of suggestions shown by appending prefixes and suffixes to the search terms.

from ecommercetools import seo

suggestions = seo.google_autocomplete("data science", include_expanded=False)
print(suggestions)

suggestions = seo.google_autocomplete("data science", include_expanded=True)
print(suggestions)

4 data science salary 553
5 data science internship 552
6 data science jobs london 551
7 data science graduate scheme 550

8. Retrieve robots.txt content

The get_robots() function returns the contents of a robots.txt file in a Pandas dataframe so it can be parsed and analysed.

from ecommercetools import seo

robots = seo.get_robots("http://www.flyandlure.org/robots.txt")
print(robots)
directive parameter
0 User-agent *
1 Disallow /signin
2 Disallow /signup
3 Disallow /users
4 Disallow /contact
5 Disallow /activate
6 Disallow /*/page
7 Disallow /articles/search
8 Disallow /search.php
9 Disallow *q=*
10 Disallow *category_slug=*
11 Disallow *country_slug=*
12 Disallow *county_slug=*
13 Disallow *features=*

9. Get Google SERPs

The get_serps() function returns a Pandas dataframe containing the Google search engine results for a given search term. Note that this function is not suitable for large-scale scraping and currently includes no features to prevent it from being blocked.

from ecommercetools import seo

serps = seo.get_serps("data science blog")
print(serps)

Create an ABCD classification of Google Search Console data

The classify_pages() function returns an ABCD classification of Google Search Console data. This calculates the cumulative sum of clicks and then categorises pages using the ABC algorithm (the first 80% are classed A, the next 10% are classed B, and the final 10% are classed C, with the zero click pages classed D).

from ecommercetools import seo

key = "client_secrets.json"
site_url = "example-domain.co.uk"
start_date = '2022-10-01'
end_date = '2022-10-31'

df_classes = seo.classify_pages(key, site_url, start_date, end_date, output='classes')
print(df_classes.head())

df_summary = seo.classify_pages(key, site_url, start_date, end_date, output='summary')
print(df_summary)

Reports

The Reports module creates weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly reports for customers and orders and calculates a range of common ecommerce metrics to show business performance.

1. Customers report

The customers_report() function takes a formatted dataframe of transaction items (see above) and a desired frequency (D for daily, W for weekly, M for monthly, Q for quarterly) and calculates aggregate metrics for each period.

The function returns the number of orders, the number of customers, the number of new customers, the number of returning customers, and the acquisition rate (or proportion of new customers). For monthly reporting, I would recommend a 13-month period so you can compare the last month with the same month the previous year.

from ecommercetools import reports

df_customers_report = reports.customers_report(transaction_items, frequency='M')
print(df_customers_report.head(13))

2. Transactions report

The transactions_report() function takes a formatted dataframe of transaction items (see above) and a desired frequency (D for daily, W for weekly, M for monthly, Q for quarterly) and calculates aggregate metrics for each period.

The metrics returned are: customers, orders, revenue, SKUs, units, average order value, average SKUs per order, average units per order, and average revenue per customer.

from ecommercetools import reports

df_orders_report = reports.transactions_report(transaction_items, frequency='M')
print(df_orders_report.head(13))
