HTTP Interfaces and External Systems for General Miscellaneous Research Report Retrieval

What data for this category looks like

Data sources for general miscellaneous research report retrieval include public financial research report aggregation channels and internal institutional compliance research report archives. Updates are released in real or near-real time during trading hours on weekdays, with no regular updates on non-weekdays. Each research report document includes fields such as unique report identifier, title, publishing entity, publishing timestamp, core abstract, industry classification, target underlying assets, valuation data, and more. Publishing time uses UTC timestamp format. Valuation data for target assets uses Chinese Yuan as the unit. The core abstract field length is measured in character count.

What constraints these characteristics impose on HTTP interfaces and external systems

Compliance rules for research report data require interfaces to carry valid identity credentials to prevent unauthorized access. Real-time update requirements support incremental pulling to balance data freshness and server load. The mixed structure of structured and unstructured documents requires interfaces to support field filtering and paginated responses, matching the storage and processing capabilities of external systems. Some external systems require binding third-party service accounts, so interfaces must support third-party identity verification processes to ensure successful service binding. Transmission and parsing of long-text research reports require interfaces to set reasonable timeout thresholds to avoid mid-transfer interruptions.

How to set configurations

Configuration ItemRecommended ValueRationale
api_auth_typesignatureResearch report data has compliance requirements, and signature verification prevents unauthorized calls
incremental_sync_interval300 secondsResearch report updates are concentrated during weekday trading hours. 5-minute incremental pulling balances real-time performance and server load
return_field_filter["title", "publish_time", "core_abstract", "target_stock"]External systems only require core research report information. Filtering redundant fields reduces transmission overhead
response_pagination_size20–50 itemsToo many items per page increases processing delay for external systems. Too few items increases the number of interface calls
request_timeout600 secondsParsing and transmission of long-text research reports require sufficient time to avoid mid-transfer timeouts
external_webhook_sign_keyExclusive key generated per platformExternal webhooks require signature verification to prevent malicious requests

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

Three common errors

  • Symptom: HTTP interface calls return a 401 Unauthorized status code, with identity verification failed. Cause: api_auth_type is not configured to a valid signature verification method, and compliant research report interfaces are called directly using public keys.
  • Symptom: Binding a third-party search API prompts an operation failure. Cause: Third-party service identity verification process is not enabled in the interface configuration, causing the interface to fail to complete third-party service account binding.
  • Symptom: Model testing passes on a third-party API platform, but an error occurs when called by FastGPT. Cause: The request_timeout parameter of the model interface is not adjusted to a value compatible with FastGPT, triggering a timeout error during long-text research report processing.

How to confirm correct configuration

  • Initiate a single HTTP interface call, check that the returned fields include the content configured in return_field_filter and have no redundant fields.
  • View interface call logs, confirm that each request carries a valid signature credential, and no 401 status codes are returned.
  • Trigger an incremental sync task, check that only research report data updated in the last 5 minutes is pulled, with no duplicate pull records.
  • Bind an external webhook address, test sending a research report abstract message, confirm that the message can be delivered normally to the target system.
