HTTP Interfaces and External Systems for Glass Marketing

What the data for this category looks like

Data related to glass marketing primarily comes from ERP systems of architectural glass manufacturers, official quotation platforms, and product manuals. Basic product parameters such as type, thickness, and dimensional specifications are updated on a stable schedule, with synchronization every quarter. Real-time quotation and inventory data are updated daily or weekly. Most data documents are structured tables. Fields include glass category, thickness (unit: millimeters), size range (unit: square meters), unit price (unit: yuan per square meter), inventory balance (unit: square meters), certification labels, and more. There is no complex nested content. Field formats are unified and include clear unit identifiers.

What constraints these characteristics impose on HTTP interfaces and external systems

Data includes numerical fields with clear units, so interfaces must support unit validation and parameter specification to avoid parsing errors. Multi-dimensional product parameters require interfaces to support multi-condition filtering. Without this, returned data volume will be too large and impact transmission efficiency. Data with different update frequencies requires corresponding pulling strategies. Real-time inventory and quotation data needs high-frequency pulling. Basic parameters can be synchronized at low frequency. Most data sources are manufacturer-specific private interfaces, so exclusive authentication methods must be configured. Generic public data source interfaces cannot be used directly.

How to set configurations

Configuration Item	Recommended Value	Rationale
`UPLOAD_FILE_MAX_SIZE`	`1000 MB`	Glass marketing content includes bulk quotation spreadsheets. The maximum single file size can reach around 800 MB, so reasonable headroom is required
`PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS`	`300 seconds`	Parsing large structured glass quotation spreadsheets takes a long time. The default timeout setting is insufficient to complete full parsing
`API_REQUEST_RATE_LIMIT`	`10 requests per minute`	Most glass manufacturer interfaces have call frequency limits. This value adapts to the rate limiting rules of most manufacturers
`RECALL_TOP_K`	`Top 8 entries`	Glass product parameters have multiple dimensions. Sufficient candidate matches must be returned to support accurate marketing content generation
`FILE_PARSE_STRICT_MODE`	`Enabled`	Glass fields include strict unit validation rules. Enabling this mode filters invalid data with non-matching formats
`EXTERNAL_API_AUTH_TYPE`	`API_KEY`	Glass manufacturer external interfaces generally use API key authentication, which adapts to the docking requirements of mainstream manufacturers

The parameter values provided on this page are all 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 Misconfigurations

Calling the UPLOAD_FILE interface to upload a glass quotation CSV returns 413 Request Entity Too Large. This occurs because the UPLOAD_FILE_MAX_SIZE configuration was not adjusted, and the default small capacity limit was used.
Empty fields appear in parsed glass data. This occurs because FILE_PARSE_STRICT_MODE was not enabled, causing fields with mismatched units to be automatically filtered out.
Frequent calls to manufacturer external interfaces trigger 429 Too Many Requests errors. This occurs because API_REQUEST_RATE_LIMIT was not configured, and the call frequency exceeded the manufacturer's rate limiting threshold.

How to Verify Successful Configuration

A standard glass quotation CSV test file is uploaded, and preset fields such as thickness, unit price, and inventory balance are confirmed to be fully extracted after parsing.
The connected manufacturer external interface is called, and the returned status code is confirmed to be 200 OK, with the data format matching the preset JSON structure.
An interface call frequency of 15 times per minute is simulated, and no 429 status code rate limiting error is confirmed to be triggered.
When glass marketing content is generated, the retrieved knowledge base data is checked to include accurate units and parameter information, with no missing or incorrect content.
