<p>The API offers a method to obtain a list of similarly themed public channels, selected based on similarities in their <strong>subscriber bases</strong>. </p>
<p>Clients should invoke <ahref="/method/channels.getChannelRecommendations">channels.getChannelRecommendations</a> after joining a <ahref="/api/channel">channel</a> (passing the channel's peer in <code>channel</code>), automatically displaying a popup with a list of similarly themed channels. </p>
<p>The same method should also be invoked when opening a special "Similar channels" tab in the channel's profile (similar to the Media/Links/Gifs/etc tabs). </p>
<p>The method should also be called <em>without</em> setting the <code>channel</code> flag in the "Similar channels" section of the "Channels" tab of global search, to return a <em>global</em> list of recommended channels, similar to the ones the current user has already joined, see <ahref="/api/search#global-search">here»</a> for more info. </p>
<p>The maximum number of similar channels that can be recommended by <ahref="/method/channels.getChannelRecommendations">channels.getChannelRecommendations»</a> to <ahref="/api/premium">Premium</a>/non-<ahref="/api/premium">Premium</a> users is contained in the <ahref="/api/config#recommended-channels-limit-premium">recommended_channels_limit_premium</a>/<ahref="/api/config#recommended-channels-limit-default">recommended_channels_limit_default</a> app configuration keys.</p></div>
