What the data for this category looks like
Cosmetics marketing content data primarily comes from official brand compliance filing documents, ingredient databases, and the brand’s own marketing material library. Update frequency fluctuates with new product launches and adjustments to compliance policies. Update frequency rises during new product promotion cycles. The structure of a single data document includes a unique product identifier, Chinese and English names, ingredient list, filing number, and compliance marketing prompt fields. Ingredient field units are mostly mg/g or percentage concentration. Marketing copy fields are measured in characters. Filing numbers use fixed-format strings.
What constraints these characteristics impose on HTTP interfaces and external systems
Complete compliance filing field requirements mean interfaces must not arbitrarily truncate returned content. Interfaces must support full transmission of long text fields. The multi-field, unit-bearing nature of ingredient lists requires interface pagination parameters to adapt to the upper limit of fields returned per batch. This avoids splitting errors. Fluctuating update rhythms require external systems to configure incremental sync trigger rules. This adapts to non-fixed-cycle update needs. Wide variations in marketing copy character lengths require interfaces to support custom return length configurations. This adapts to material call needs across different scenarios.
How to set configurations
| Configuration Item | Recommended Value | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
API_RESPONSE_DATA_LIMIT | 1000–5000 characters/field | Adapts to the typical length of cosmetics ingredient lists and marketing copy, preventing single fields from exceeding interface transmission limits |
DATA_ID_GENERATION_RULE | Generated by product SKU + update time | Matches the characteristics of multiple SKUs and versions for cosmetics, ensuring traceable unique identifiers for each marketing material |
API_KEY_RATE_LIMIT | 50–200 requests/minute | Adapts to peak demand for marketing content calls during promotional periods, limiting interface call frequency to ensure stability |
API_KEY_EXPIRY_DAYS | 7–30 days | Matches the cycle characteristics of cosmetics marketing campaigns, flexibly setting key validity periods to balance security and usability |
SYNC_SOURCE_DOCUMENT | Enable original document traceability switch | Meets regulatory and audit requirements for associating cosmetics marketing content with original compliance filing documents |
API_TIMEOUT_SECONDS | 30–60 seconds | Adapts to the time required to query compliance filing databases when pulling cosmetics data, avoiding timeouts or excessive waiting |
The parameter values provided on this page are common recommended starting points for configuration. Actual values are affected by material format, data volume, and business rules. Specific issues require case-by-case analysis, and it is recommended to test against your own samples before finalizing.
Three common mistakes
- The symptom is that marketing content returned by API calls does not include a source original document identifier. The cause is that the
SYNC_SOURCE_DOCUMENTconfiguration item is not enabled, and compliance filing original document data is not associated. - The symptom is that calls to the like function fail to obtain a valid
dataId. The cause is failure to follow theDATA_ID_GENERATION_RULEof generating by SKU + update time, resulting in missing or conflicting unique identifiers. - The symptom is that API keys have no validity period or call frequency limits, leading to security risks or interface overload. The cause is that the
API_KEY_EXPIRY_DAYSandAPI_KEY_RATE_LIMITparameters are not configured, and default open permissions are used.
How to confirm configurations are correct
- Initiate an API call for a single cosmetics product. Check that the returned content includes a complete ingredient list, filing number, and marketing copy, with no forced truncation.
- Initiate a call to the like function interface. Check that the returned result contains a unique identification field that conforms to the product identification rules.
- View the API key configuration details. Confirm that validity period and call frequency limits have been set, matching the current business cycle.
- Initiate a batch call test. Check that all interface response status codes are
200 OK, with no overload error messages.
