What This Type of Data Looks Like
Data sources include public industry research documents, publicly disclosed upstream and downstream information across the steel industry chain, and public data from industry monitoring platforms. Two update rhythms are used: regular scheduled updates and ad-hoc emergency updates. Regular updates follow a fixed interval. Ad-hoc updates trigger when industry policies or raw material prices shift. Document structures include industry supply and demand overviews, core category price and inventory data, and post-market analysis modules. Fields include category identifiers, statistical cycles, numerical data, release times, and release entities. Most core numerical fields use units such as yuan per ton and ten thousand tons. The length of individual research report documents varies widely.
Constraints Imposed on HTTP Interfaces and External Systems by These Data Characteristics
Field naming for carbon steel research reports varies across data sources. Update rhythms include both regular scheduled and ad-hoc emergency updates. The length of individual documents varies widely. Core numerical values include dedicated units. These characteristics require HTTP interfaces to support custom field mapping rules, to adapt to field formats from different data sources. External systems must support flexible adjustment of pull intervals, to accommodate ad-hoc update demands. Interfaces must also configure long-text processing thresholds, to prevent timeout issues when transmitting lengthy research reports. Return parameters must explicitly retain unit fields, to reduce format conversion costs for external systems.
Configuration Settings
| Configuration Item | Recommended Value | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
recall_count | Top 8-12 results | Core supply and demand, price data for carbon steel research reports is concentrated in the first few recall results. Excessive recall increases interface response load |
similarity_threshold | 0.72-0.85 | Carbon steel industry has many specialized terms. The semantic similarity threshold must be higher than general scenarios to avoid recalling irrelevant non-steel research reports |
parse_chunk_size | 800-1200 characters | Carbon steel research reports contain structured data and long sentences. This chunk size balances parsing accuracy and interface transmission efficiency |
api_request_timeout | 60 seconds | Parsing and retrieving in-depth individual carbon steel research reports takes significant time. A short timeout will cause task interruptions |
concurrent_limit | 20-30 concurrent requests | The computational load of carbon steel research report retrieval is moderate. This concurrency level balances external system call demands and platform resource usage |
field_mapping_enable | Enabled | Field naming for carbon steel data sources is inconsistent. Enabling this setting allows custom mapping to standard fields to meet external system data format requirements |
The parameter values provided on this page are general recommendations to serve as a starting point for configuration. Actual values are affected by material form, data volume, and business rules. Analyze specific cases individually, and conduct tests on your own samples before finalizing settings.
Three Common Misconfigurations
- Symptom: The interface returns the
invalid dataIderror. Cause: Failed to correctly obtain the dataset ID for the carbon steel-specific knowledge base, and used an ID from another category or a general knowledge base by mistake. - Symptom: The interface returns a
429 Too Many Requestsstatus code. Cause: Failed to adjust the concurrency limit based on the retrieval load of carbon steel research reports, and used an inappropriate concurrency value that triggered rate limiting. - Symptom: Calling the workflow interface does not return the preset industry opening remarks. Cause: Did not bind the corresponding carbon steel research report workflow configuration in the interface parameters, and used a general retrieval interface by mistake.
How to Verify Successful Configuration
- Pass search keywords including "carbon steel average price" and "crude steel output", and check if the interface return results include corresponding industry terms and structured data.
- Check the dataset identifier field in the interface return results to confirm it matches the ID of the currently bound carbon steel research report knowledge base.
- Simulate the call frequency of external systems, send multiple consecutive rounds of requests, and confirm that no rate limit errors are triggered and response times meet expectations.
- Confirm the interface type being used, and verify that a knowledge base-specific retrieval interface is used instead of a general conversation interface.
