What the data for this category looks like
The ledger data for communication towers and infrastructure mainly comes from three sources: operations and maintenance management systems, power environment monitoring equipment, and daily inspection terminals. Basic ledger data is updated quarterly, and includes core fields such as tower number, longitude and latitude, tower height, and load power. Inspection and fault data is updated daily, and includes supplementary fields such as inspection time, hidden danger level, and processing records. The structure of a single complete ledger entry is divided into three modules: basic information, operation data, and maintenance records. Field units use standard operation and maintenance units such as meters, kilowatts, and counts. The main data format is structured JSON, and some legacy systems return CSV format files.
Constraints Imposed on HTTP Interfaces and External Systems by These Characteristics
The diversity of data sources requires interfaces to adapt to different authentication and format specifications. Separate configuration must be applied for Bearer authentication used by operations and maintenance systems and API key authentication used by inspection terminals. Differences in update rhythms require simultaneous support for real-time pulling of inspection data and scheduled pulling of basic ledgers. The interface polling interval must be adjusted based on the data update frequency. The mixed structured and unstructured data format requires interface requests to be compatible with both JSON and CSV response formats. Parsing rules must be specified via responseData to extract valid content. The large size of single data entries requires interfaces to support pagination queries to avoid overloading returned content in a single request.
Configuration Settings
Reference only; verify against the target FastGPT release and deployment documentation.
| Configuration Item | Recommended Setting | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
Authorization | Bearer {Operations and Maintenance System API Key} | Bearer token authentication is commonly used for communication tower operation and maintenance interfaces to ensure data access permissions |
variables | Structured parameters including tower number, query start time, and query end time | Ledger data needs to be accurately aggregated by tower number and time range, and variables can dynamically pass query conditions |
| Response Data Parsing | Extract the ledger list and report fields from responseData | The original data returned by the interface has multiple nested levels, and the parsing path must be specified to obtain valid content |
| Request Timeout | 300-600 seconds, calibrated based on actual testing | A single complete ledger has a large data size, and sufficient response time must be reserved to avoid request interruptions |
| Concurrency Limit | 4-6 requests per minute, calibrated based on actual testing | Matches the concurrency limit of most communication tower operation and maintenance interfaces to avoid triggering exceptions |
| Pagination Configuration | Paginate with 100 entries per page | An overly large single-page data size will easily cause interface response timeouts, and pagination can improve request stability |
Three Common Configuration Mistakes
- Phenomenon: The interface returns a 429 Too Many Requests status code; Cause: Concurrency limits are not configured, and the request frequency exceeds the concurrency limit of the communication tower operation and maintenance interface.
- Phenomenon: No data is returned after the database workflow is executed; Cause: Correct tower number parameters are not passed in
variables, resulting in empty query conditions that cannot match valid data. - Phenomenon: The Feishu-integrated database cannot generate PPT format reports; Cause: The external interface only supports returning structured ledger data, and no additional parameters for PPT format conversion are configured.
How to Verify Proper Configuration
- A test request can be sent to check whether the
responseDatareturned by the interface includes the expected core ledger fields such as tower number and load power. - Multiple concurrent requests can be simulated to confirm that no 429 exceptions are triggered and that all requests can return data normally.
- The
variablesparameters can be checked to confirm that they correctly pass the tower number and time range to avoid missing query conditions. - The generated report data can be compared with the original ledger data to confirm that fields and values match correctly.
