# Using the Amazon Kendra API to submit feedback
<a name="feedback-api"></a>

To use the Amazon Kendra API to submit query feedback, use the [SubmitFeedback](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kendra/latest/APIReference/API_SubmitFeedback.html) API. To identify the query, you supply the index ID of the index that the query applies to, and the query ID returned in the response from the [Query](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kendra/latest/APIReference/API_Query.html) API.

The following example shows how to submit click and relevance feedback using the Amazon Kendra API. You can submit multiple sets of feedback through the `ClickFeedbackItems` and `RelevanceFeedbackItems` arrays. This example submits a single click and a single relevance feedback item. The feedback submittal uses the current time.

**To submit feedback for a search (AWS SDK)**

1. You can use the following example code with the required values:

   1. `index id`—The ID of the index that the query applies to.

   1. `query id`—The query that you want to provide feedback on.

   1. `result id`—The ID of the query result that you want to provide feedback on. The query response contains the result ID.

   1. `relevance value`—Either `RELEVANT` (the query result is relevant) or `NOT_RELEVANT` (the query result is not relevant).

#### [ Python ]

   ```
   import boto3
   import time
   
   kendra = boto3.client("kendra")
   
   # Provide the index ID
   index_id = "index-id"
   # Provide the query ID
   query_id = "query-id"
   # Provide the search result ID
   result_id = "result-id"
   
   # Configure the feedback item
   feedback_item = {"ClickTime": int(time.time()),
       "ResultId":result_id}
   
   # Configure the relevance value
   relevance_value = "RELEVANT"
   relevance_item = {"RelevanceValue": relevance_value,
       "ResultId": result_id
       }
   
   response = kendra.submit_feedback(
       QueryId = query_id,
       IndexId = index_id,
       ClickFeedbackItems = [feedback_item],
       RelevanceFeedbackItems = [relevance_item]
   )
   
   
   print("Submitted feedback for query: " + query_id)
   ```

                   .build())
               .build();
   
           SubmitFeedbackResponse response = kendra.submitFeedback(submitFeedbackRequest);
   
           System.out.println("Feedback is submitted");
       }
   }
   ```

1. Run the code. After the feedback has been submitted, the code displays a message.
