HTTP Interfaces and External Systems for Software

What the data for this category looks like

The data for software development intelligent due diligence reports primarily comes from project code repositories, third-party code scanning tools, enterprise compliance management systems, and public qualification databases. Data updates are synchronized with project iterations, and triggers occur after each version release, compliance audit, or code change.

A single report document includes five core modules: basic project information, code dependency list, security vulnerability details, compliance verification results, and team qualification certificates. Fields include repo_address (string type, stores code repository addresses), vulnerability_total (integer type, counts high-risk vulnerability quantities), and compliance_score (float type, compliance rating score), with units of none, count, and points respectively.

What constraints do these characteristics impose on the "HTTP Interfaces and External Systems" link

Code repository addresses have two access scenarios: public and private. Therefore, interfaces must support identity authentication parameter configuration to adapt to data source pulling with different permissions. The multi-field report structure requires interface request parameters to support specifying returned fields, to avoid redundant data transmission. High-frequency updated security vulnerability data requires interface timeout settings to adapt to the return cycle of scanning tools, and should not be too long. Access to external compliance systems requires configuring callback addresses to receive verification results, or setting timed pull intervals to match the update rhythm of compliance audits. Additionally, vulnerability field formats returned by different code scanning tools vary. Interfaces must support field mapping configuration to unify data structures.

How to set configurations

Configuration Item	Recommended Setting	Rationale
`UPLOAD_REPORT_FILE_MAX_SIZE`	`500 MB`	Software development due diligence reports include large files such as code packages and scan logs. 500 MB covers most project scales
`REPORT_PARSE_TIMEOUT`	`300 seconds`	Code scanning and compliance verification require certain processing time. 300 seconds adapts to most scenarios
`FIELD_MAPPING_RULE`	Calibrated based on actual testing	Different external scanning tools have varying field formats. Adjustments must be made based on the connected tool
`AUTH_TYPE`	`Bearer Token`	Private code repositories and compliance systems mostly use token authentication, which follows industry general specifications
`PULL_INTERVAL`	`3600 seconds`	Compliance audit cycles are mostly daily or weekly. A 1-hour pull interval enables timely synchronization of updated data
`RESPONSE_FIELD_WHITELIST`	`repo_address,vulnerability_total,compliance_score`	Only returns core due diligence report fields to reduce transmission overhead

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 individual analysis. It is recommended to test on your own samples before finalizing settings.

Three common mistakes

Scenario: After uploading a due diligence report file, the returned response does not include the collection_id and file_id fields. Cause: The configuration item for returning interface metadata is not enabled, or the upload request does not carry the correct collection_name parameter.
Scenario: The model actually used when calling the interface does not match the configured one, resulting in abnormal resource consumption. Cause: The MODEL_REDIRECT_RULE parameter is not configured correctly, or the rule configuration format is incorrect.
Scenario: The interface returns a 413 Request Entity Too Large error. Cause: The uploaded report file size exceeds the configured value of UPLOAD_REPORT_FILE_MAX_SIZE, and the threshold has not been adjusted to adapt to large code packages.

How to confirm the configuration is complete

Initiate a test file upload with a small volume, and check whether the response body contains the expected collection_id and file_id fields.
Call the interface to query uploaded report data, and confirm that the returned fields match the configured RESPONSE_FIELD_WHITELIST.
Simulate a callback request from a compliance system, and check whether the interface can correctly receive and store verification results.
Adjust the PULL_INTERVAL parameter, and confirm that the timed pull task triggers according to the expected cycle.
