I found this page on implementing Synonyms in Squirro very helpful.

[https://squirro.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DOC/pages/2015199283/Using+Synonyms](https://squirro.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DOC/pages/2015199283/Using+Synonyms)

Is there a programmatic way to populate the terms in the synonym list (via api)? Or does the list have to be populated manually via entering terms or uploading a file?

Hey @cmarino thank you, great question! Indeed, there is a way to populate the terms in the synonym list via the API. You can find out more about the SynonymMixin in the documentation, which I include here for your convenience: [SynonymsMixin — Squirro Developer Documentation 3.2.0 documentation](https://docs.squirro.com/en/latest/api/squirro_client.topic.SynonymsMixin.html)
