What Data for This Category Looks Like
Data for traditional Chinese medicine intelligent due diligence reports is primarily sourced from national pharmacopeias, traditional Chinese medicine material traceability management platforms, and batch test reports issued by production quality inspection institutions. Two data update cycles apply: public standard data is updated on a regular basis, while batch traceability data is updated in real time alongside traditional Chinese medicine material harvesting and processing batches. Document structures primarily use structured fields, including original plant name, appearance parameters, content determination values, processing techniques, nature, taste and meridian tropism, functions and indications, and contraindicated populations. Most content determination fields use mg/g as their unit. Appearance fields use physical units such as centimeters and grams. Some fields consist of text descriptions.
Constraints Imposed on HTTP Interfaces and External Systems
The data characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine due diligence reports impose multiple constraints on interface calls. The large number of structured fields with physical units requires external interfaces to return data that strictly matches preset field names and units. Such non-matching data cannot be used directly for report generation. The real-time update nature of batch traceability data requires HTTP interfaces to support precise pulling of the latest data using parameters such as batch number and harvesting time. This avoids using outdated cached batch information. Public standard data has version differences, so interfaces must support specifying standard version numbers to ensure consistent standard versions referenced in due diligence reports. Text description fields can be lengthy, so the volume of single-piece data returned by interfaces may exceed conventional thresholds. This requires configuring appropriate request timeouts and data reception length limits.
How to Set Configurations
| Configuration Item | Recommended Setting | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
HTTP_REQUEST_TIMEOUT | 300 seconds | Interfaces for traditional Chinese medicine due diligence reports return data that includes long text descriptions and multiple sets of test parameters. The volume of data per request is large, so sufficient response time must be reserved |
MAX_RESPONSE_CONTENT_LENGTH | 2097152 bytes | Structured data and text descriptions for a single batch of traditional Chinese medicine material reports typically do not exceed this threshold, preventing valid content from being truncated |
RESPONSE_CACHE_TTL | 3600 seconds | Public pharmacopeia standard data has a low update frequency. The cache duration for batch traceability data can match the update cycles of most production platforms |
VALIDATE_RESPONSE_FIELDS | Enable field validation | Field names and units returned by interfaces must be verified to conform to the standard format of traditional Chinese medicine due diligence reports, avoiding data format errors |
RETRY_ON_FAILURE | Retry 2 times on failure | Traditional Chinese medicine material traceability interfaces may experience temporary request failures due to network fluctuations. Retries can reduce the rate of invalid requests |
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. Specific issues require case-by-case analysis. It is recommended to test on internal samples before finalizing settings.
Three Common Mistakes
- An interface call returns
500 do request failed: Post "https://xxx" tls: failed to verify certificate. The cause is that custom SSL certificates are not configured for trust, or the SSL certificate used by the interface fails system root certificate verification. - The content determination field returned by the interface is empty, or its unit does not match expectations. The cause is that response field validation is not enabled, and no mandatory validation is performed for the field names and units of returned data.
- Interface requests are triggered at high frequency in the early morning, leading to exhausted balance. The cause is that interface call frequency limits are not configured, and no reasonable current-limiting rules are set.
How to Confirm Configurations Are Correct
- Send a single test request, verify that the field names and units of returned data match the standard format of traditional Chinese medicine due diligence reports. Adjust field validation configuration based on verification results.
- Simulate batch requests, observe call records in system logs, confirm that current-limiting rules take effect, then adjust frequency limit parameters based on actual business call volume.
- Test batch data requests initiated at different times, confirm that returned traceability data is for the latest batches. Verify data update logic based on cache configuration.
- Check error logs for interface calls, confirm that no SSL verification failures, request timeouts or other errors occur. Adjust timeout and certificate configuration based on error information.
