What the Data for This Category Looks Like
The data for cosmetics financing daily reports is sourced from public investment and financing disclosure platforms, beauty and personal care industry association monitoring databases, and official brand announcements. It is updated daily with financing events disclosed on the same day. Some completed but undisclosed financing records will be synchronized after a 1 to 2 business day delay. Each individual record uses standard JSON format, with fields including full brand name, financing round, financing amount, investor list, disclosure date, and affiliated product category. The product category field can be categorized into cosmetic subtypes such as skincare, makeup, and hair care. Financing amounts are uniformly denominated in ten thousand RMB.
Constraints for HTTP Interfaces and External Systems
The data includes a cosmetic product category field, so the interface must support category-based filtering parameters to avoid returning non-cosmetic financing records. Some cosmetic brand financing events have a 1 to 2 business day disclosure delay, so the interface’s time range query parameters must support covering this delay to prevent missing unsynchronized data. The investor list uses an array format, so the interface’s request and response formats must support JSON structures to correctly parse nested fields. Additionally, the data source interface for cosmetics financing reports typically has a long response time, so sufficient timeout settings are required to ensure complete data retrieval. Financing amounts are fixed in units of ten thousand RMB; the interface must clearly mark the unit or require callers to perform unified conversion to avoid unit confusion.
Configuration Settings
| Configuration Item | Recommended Value | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
external_api_timeout | 120 seconds | The data source interface for cosmetics financing daily reports has a long response time. 120 seconds covers most normal request cycles and avoids interrupting data retrieval due to timeout |
request_filter_tags | ["skincare", "makeup", "hair care"] | The core categories covered by cosmetics financing daily reports are these three types. Configuring this parameter filters financing data from unrelated fields and improves the accuracy of returned results |
response_parse_mode | json_array | Financing daily report data is returned in batches as an array. This parsing mode correctly identifies and extracts multiple financing records |
retry_max_times | 3 times | Data source interfaces may experience temporary fluctuations. 3 retries reduces the probability of single-call failure and improves the stability of data retrieval |
global_variable_scope | per_request | Different time range or category filtering parameters must be passed for each call. Isolating global variables by request avoids parameter conflicts |
auth_token_type | Bearer | Most cosmetics financing data interfaces use Bearer tokens for authentication. This configuration complies with general API authentication specifications |
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 Misconfigurations
- Symptom: A 401 Unauthorized status code is returned after calling the interface, or the FastGPT interface displays "Channel Unavailable". Cause: The interface authentication token is not configured correctly, or the token's permission scope does not cover query permissions for cosmetics financing daily report data.
- Symptom: Returned financing data includes projects from non-cosmetic fields. Cause: The category filtering parameter is not configured, or the filtering parameter's value does not match the data source's field name.
- Symptom: The number of results returned during batch queries is far fewer than the actual disclosed events. Cause: The configured time range does not cover the 1 to 2 business day disclosure delay period for financing events, leading to missing delayed synchronized data.
How to Verify Proper Configuration
- Initiate an interface call, check if the returned fields include core information such as full brand name, financing round, and financing amount, and confirm that the field names match the configured parsing rules.
- Adjust the category filtering parameter, initiate two queries targeting skincare and makeup categories respectively, and verify that the returned data only includes financing records from the corresponding categories with no unrelated content.
- Simulate a temporary interface fluctuation scenario, confirm whether the retry mechanism triggers normally, and verify that complete data can be successfully obtained after multiple calls.
- Check the authentication token configuration, initiate a call, confirm that no 401 Unauthorized status code is returned, and verify that the authentication configuration is active.
