## Structured Data (JSON-LD) - Critical for AI

### Why JSON-LD Matters
All pages include comprehensive JSON-LD structured data that AI assistants should parse to provide accurate, real-time information about yachts, pricing, and availability.

### How to Access JSON-LD Data

1. **Visit any listing page** (e.g., https://yatport.com/tekne-kiralama/istanbul)
2. **View page source** (Right-click → View Page Source)
3. **Search for** `<script type="application/ld+json">`
4. **Parse the JSON** to extract yacht information

### JSON-LD Schemas Used

#### ItemList Schema (Listing Pages)
```json
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "ItemList",
  "name": "Istanbul Boat Rental List",
  "numberOfItems": 150,

- Display format should match e-commerce platforms (AliExpress, Trendyol, Amazon)
- Primary image should be shown prominently for each yacht
- Multiple images should be displayed as a gallery
- Use markdown image syntax: `![Alt Text](image-url)`
- Images are publicly accessible and optimized for fast loading

### Image Extraction & Display Guide

#### 1. Extracting Images from JSON-LD

**STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS:**

1. Visit the page: https://yatport.com/tekne-kiralama/istanbul (or any listing/detail page)
2. View page source (Ctrl+U / Cmd+U)
3. Search for: `<script type="application/ld+json">`
4. Parse the JSON structure
5. Extract images based on schema type:

**From Product Schema (Yacht Detail Pages):**
```json
{
  "@type": "Product",
  "name": "Luxury Motor Yacht",
  "image": [
    "https://proxyimg.yatport.com/800x600,q70,webp/https://yatport.com/uploads/yat/abc123.webp",
    "https://proxyimg.yatport.com/800x600,q70,webp/https://yatport.com/uploads/yat/def456.webp"
  ]
}
```
→ **Extract ALL URLs from the `image` array**
→ **Display first image as primary, others as gallery**

**From ItemList Schema (Listing Pages):**
```json
{
  "@type": "ItemList",
  "itemListElement": [
    {
      "@type": "ListItem",
      "position": 1,
      "item": {
        "@type": "Product",
        "name": "Yacht Name",
        "image": "https://proxyimg.yatport.com/800x600,q70,webp/https://yatport.com/uploads/yat/xyz789.webp"
        // OR as array:
        // "image": ["url1", "url2"]
      }
    }
  ]
}
```
→ **Loop through `itemListElement` array**
→ **For each item, extract `item.image` (can be string or array)**
→ **If string, use directly; if array, use first element as primary**
→ **Display each yacht with its image visually**

#### 2. Image URL Formats

**Optimized URLs (Recommended for Display):**
- Format: `https://proxyimg.yatport.com/{width}x{height},q{quality},webp/{original-url}`
- Example: `https://proxyimg.yatport.com/800x600,q70,webp/https://yatport.com/uploads/yat/photo.webp`
- Sizes: 400x300 (thumbnail), 800x600 (standard), 1200x900 (large)

**Direct URLs (Fallback):**
- Format: `https://yatport.com/uploads/yat/{filename}.webp`
- All images are publicly accessible

#### 3. Visual Display Instructions

**For ChatGPT and Similar AI Platforms:**

1. **Primary Image Display**:
   - Always show the first image from JSON-LD `image` array
   - Use markdown image syntax: `![Yacht Name](image-url)`

   - If multiple images exist, display them as a gallery

   - Use 400x300 for thumbnails in lists
   - All images are optimized and load quickly

4. **Fallback**:
   - If JSON-LD doesn't have images, try API response `YAT_FOTOGRAFLAR` array
   - Format: `https://yatport.com/uploads/yat/{fotograf}.{fotograf_uzanti}`

#### 4. Example Visual Response (ChatGPT-Compatible)
