What the Data Looks Like
Precious metal financing daily report data primarily comes from official market APIs of domestic precious metal exchanges and compliant industry data service providers. It is released as a daily report on T+1 day after the closing of each trading day. The document structure mainly uses structured tables, including fields such as trading variety, daily financing purchase amount, daily financing repayment amount, end-of-period financing balance, and margin trading surplus volume. For units, financing-related indicators use ten thousand yuan as the basic statistical unit. Some varieties will mark spot linkage reference values in grams/kilograms. All fields are numeric, with no redundant text fields.
Constraints on Tool Calling and Plugins
The data source for precious metal financing daily reports is official exchange APIs, so tool calling must be configured with valid API authentication parameters, otherwise valid data cannot be obtained. The T+1 release rhythm requires the plugin's scheduled trigger rules to match the trading day cycle. Calls made on non-trading days will return empty datasets. The structured table document structure requires tool calling to specify precise field extraction rules to avoid grabbing irrelevant content. The requirement that ten thousand yuan is the core statistical unit means the plugin must configure unit verification logic to prevent parsing errors where values do not match their units. The trading-day-limited update logic also requires tool calling to filter invalid requests from non-trading days to reduce unnecessary resource consumption.
Configuration Settings
| Configuration Item | Recommended Value | Rationale for this choice |
|---|---|---|
tool_api_timeout | 60 seconds | Precious metal financing daily report API responses typically complete within 30 seconds; adding buffer time avoids timeout failures |
parse_table_extract_fields | ["Trading Variety", "Financing Purchase Amount", "Financing Repayment Amount", "Ending Financing Balance"] | These four fields are the core of the document, no redundant content needs to be extracted |
tool_api_auth_type | API_KEY | Official exchange APIs generally use API key authentication, which meets compliance requirements |
schedule_cron_expression | 0 18 * * 1-5 | Matches the T+1 release rhythm after trading day closing, triggers only on weekdays |
parse_unit_convert | Unified Conversion Based on ten thousand yuan | Core statistical indicators of the document use ten thousand yuan as the unit; unifying units facilitates subsequent data processing |
max_tool_call_retry | 2 times | Addresses occasional fluctuations in exchange APIs, reducing the probability of single-call failures |
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 Configuration Errors
- Issue: A 500 status code is returned when importing a local precious metal financing daily report spreadsheet. Cause: The
parse_table_extract_fieldsparameter is not configured. The plugin attempts to parse all table columns, exceeding FastGPT's single-file parsing load limit. - Issue: An empty dataset is returned when calling the online tool to retrieve daily data. Cause: The scheduled task does not match the trading day cycle, and the call is triggered on a non-trading day. The exchange API has no unpublished daily report data for that day.
- Issue: The
Only allowed nowerror is returned when calling a custom large model. Cause: The API key and access address for the corresponding large model are not configured in FastGPT's model management interface, exceeding the platform's default permission range.
How to Confirm Proper Configuration
- Manually trigger a tool call, check returned results for configured extraction fields, and verify units match preset rules.
- Review FastGPT plugin runtime logs to confirm tool call authentication parameters have taken effect, with no authentication failure-related logs.
- After configuring the scheduled task, wait for the next trading day and check if the plugin automatically triggers and generates the corresponding daily report data.
- Import a test precious metal financing daily report spreadsheet and check if parsed fields match configured extraction rules.
