HTTP Interfaces and External Systems for Refractory Material

What This Category's Data Looks Like

Refractory material yield rate data comes from industry alliance public monitoring databases and reported data from key manufacturers. Ex-factory unit prices for mainstream products update daily. Industry average yield summary data updates every 10 days. Data uses structured JSON format, with two dimensions: individual product details and industry summary. Each entry includes fields such as unique identifier, product name, refractoriness parameter, unit production cost, ex-factory unit price, statistical cycle, and region classification. The pricing unit is yuan/ton. Some fields include exclusive parameters such as kiln adaptation type.

Constraints Imposed on HTTP Interfaces and External System Integration

The multi-frequency updates and multi-dimensional exclusive fields of refractory material yield rate data create multiple constraints for HTTP interface and external system integration. Daily individual product price data and 10-day industry summary data require the interface to support filtering by statistical cycle parameter. This avoids pulling invalid data. Category-specific fields such as refractoriness and kiln adaptation type require the structured returned data to include non-standard industrial category fields. External systems must predefine parsing rules for these fields. Large data volumes from multiple product models require the interface to support pagination and single-page data limit parameters. It must also be compatible with the yuan/ton pricing unit to align with downstream production system numerical processing logic.

Configuration Settings

Configuration Item	Recommended Value	Rationale
`API_REQUEST_TIMEOUT`	`300 seconds`	Refractory material industry data aggregates from multiple sources, leading to long pull times. Prevents request timeout interruptions.
`RESPONSE_FIELD_FILTER`	`Retain product model, ex-factory unit price, unit production cost, statistical cycle`	Only retain fields required for business purposes. Reduces external system data parsing and transmission load.
`PAGE_SIZE`	`50 items per page`	Refractory material has many product models. Excessive single-page data volume causes interface response delays.
`DATA_UPDATE_CYCLE`	`Daily / Every 10 days, configure as needed`	Matches actual update frequencies of ex-factory price and industry summary data. Avoids pulling duplicate or expired content.
`TRACE_REQUEST_ENABLE`	`false`	Disables TRACE requests to prevent protocol-level attack risks and comply with HTTP security specifications.
`API_URL_PREFIX`	`Auto-complete http:// protocol prefix`	Fixes missing protocol prefix in request links. Ensures external systems can access the interface normally.

The parameter values provided on this page are common starting points for configuration. Actual values are affected by material form, data volume and business rules. Each scenario requires individual analysis. It is recommended to test on your own samples before finalizing settings.

Three Common Misconfigurations

Issue: HTTP interface returns business links missing the http:// protocol prefix, causing external systems to fail to navigate correctly. Cause: API_URL_PREFIX is not configured, so protocol prefixes are not auto-completed.
Issue: Interface scans indicate TRACE requests are supported, or return 405 Method Not Allowed status code. Cause: TRACE_REQUEST_ENABLE is not disabled; default TRACE request support is retained, creating security risks.
Issue: When using API calls to stitch text and variables in workflows, variable content is not returned correctly, only fixed text fragments are returned. Cause: RESPONSE_INCLUDE_VARS is not configured, so variable parsing results are not included in API response content.

How to Verify Proper Configuration

Send a test request, check if the returned business links include complete protocol prefixes, confirm the API_URL_PREFIX configuration is active.
Use an HTTP debugging tool to send a TRACE request, check the interface's returned status code, confirm the TRACE_REQUEST_ENABLE parameter is disabled.
Call the API to trigger workflow text and variable stitching, check if the returned results include expected variable content, confirm relevant parameter configurations are correct.
Pull refractory material yield rate data for a specified cycle, check if the returned fields match the preset filtering rules, confirm the RESPONSE_FIELD_FILTER configuration is active.
