What the data for this category looks like
Precious metal financing daily report data is sourced from official market APIs of domestic and overseas precious metal exchanges, warehouse receipt registration systems of designated storage institutions, and financing position reports from industry associations. Updates are pushed at fixed daily times, integrating market and financing-related data after that day’s close. The document structure includes category classification identifiers, trading session parameters, core quotation fields, warehouse receipt inventory, and financing pledge reference amounts. Units are differentiated for domestic and overseas markets: domestic markets use yuan/gram and kilogram. Overseas markets use US dollars/ounce. Financing-related fields use tons and ten thousand yuan as units.
What constraints these characteristics impose on the citing sources and traceability link
Multi-source data must clearly mark its source entity to avoid mixing domestic and overseas market data with warehouse receipt data. Fixed update times require traceability to be bound to precise update timestamps. Filter invalid non-current-day data to ensure only the latest financing daily report content is cited. Fields with multiple units must also trace their unit information to avoid business deviations caused by mismatched values and units. Financing-related warehouse receipt data comes from independent storage systems. A unique identifier of the storage institution must be additionally associated as supplementary traceability. A complete record of the full data link from the original API to the processed document must be retained.
How to configure the settings
| Configuration Item | Recommended Value | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
recall count | top 6 | Precious metal financing daily reports include two core data sources: market data and financing data. This range covers complete information while avoiding redundant recall |
similarity threshold | 0.85–0.9 | Precious metal quotation and financing data have high precision requirements. Strict matching of original document wording is needed to filter low-correlation results |
SOURCE_TIME_VALID_OFFSET | 86400 seconds | Financing daily reports are updated daily. Only original documents released on the current day are allowed to be cited, to avoid mixing cross-day data |
retain unit information | enabled | Precious metal data uses different unit systems for domestic and overseas markets. Unit information must be retained for traceability verification |
SOURCE_TAG_FIELD | ["product code", "publishing organization", "update time"] | Core fields for traceability binding are clearly specified, ensuring each citation can be traced back to the original publishing entity and time |
PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT | 300 seconds | Large warehouse receipt reports require sufficient parsing time to avoid interrupting the complete loading of traceability data due to timeout |
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 individual analysis. It is recommended to test on your own samples before finalizing settings.
Three common configuration errors
- Phenomenon: The interface shows that source data has been associated, but no source markers are displayed in the response. Cause:
SOURCE_TAG_FIELDis not configured to specify the traceability fields to display, so the system does not extract and render source information. - Phenomenon: Recall results include previous day’s historical market data, which does not meet the business requirements of the current day’s financing daily report. Cause:
SOURCE_TIME_VALID_OFFSETis not set, or its value exceeds the 24-hour range, so non-current-day published documents are not filtered. - Phenomenon: When using
text-embedding-3-largefor indexing, the process remains stuck with no response. Cause: No time filtering rules are configured. A large number of historical warehouse receipt and market data exhaust embedding computing resources, and no timeout protection is set.
How to confirm the configuration is complete
- Upload a standard precious metal financing daily report document, and check if the parsed fields retain the original unit and publishing organization information.
- Initiate a query for that day’s market data, and check if the update time of the recall results matches the current date.
- View the knowledge base configuration panel, and confirm that
SOURCE_TAG_FIELDhas been configured with the three core fields: product, time, and source. - Trigger a complete recall test, confirm that the process does not throw timeout errors, and that the number of returned results matches the preset configuration.
