Data overview for this category
This category of data originates from package managers, code repositories, vulnerability databases, and license databases. Daily generated documents include SBOM lists, dependency risk reports, license lists, and repair tickets. Each document contains fields such as component name, version number, vulnerability ID, license type, and repair priority. Data updates occur daily or after each version release, covering full lifecycle information for all third-party dependencies in a project.
Constraints imposed on HTTP interfaces and external systems
Data sources for this category are scattered, and update rhythms vary widely. HTTP interfaces must support authentication and data pull adaptation for multiple data sources. Different documents have distinct field structures. Interfaces must return standardized response fields based on document type, to avoid missing fields or format confusion. Frequently updated dependency data requires interfaces to use reasonable timeout and retry configurations. This prevents governance process blockages caused by data pull delays. Interfaces must also support both batch pull and single-item query modes, to adapt to dependency asset identification needs of different scales.
Configuration guidelines
This configuration follows the interface specifications of FastGPT v4.17.0.
| Configuration Item | Recommended Setting | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
Authorization | Carry a Bearer-format token, with the value being the API key assigned by the platform | Complies with general authentication specifications for open source governance tools, and ensures secure data pulling |
variables | Configure fixed parameters such as dependency component names, vulnerability database IDs, and project identifiers | Reduces repeated request content, and improves interface call efficiency |
responseData | Return structured fields in three types: SBOM, risk report, and license list | Unifies output formats for different document types, and facilitates parsing by downstream systems |
| Pull interval | 300–600 seconds | Adapts to the daily update rhythm of dependency data synchronization, and avoids excessive requests to data sources |
| Batch pull limit | First 200 entries | Matches the single-page data scale of SBOM lists, and prevents interface overload |
| Retry count | 3 times | Addresses temporary network fluctuations, and reduces governance process interruptions caused by single request failures |
Three common configuration errors
- Issue: The interface returns empty fields, and SBOM list data cannot be retrieved. Cause: No valid dependency component filter conditions are configured in the
variablesparameter, so the interface cannot match dependency data for the target project. - Issue: The interface returns a 401 status code, and authentication fails. Cause: The
Authorizationheader does not include a valid Bearer-format token, or an expired API key is used. - Issue: The number of returned results is insufficient when pulling dependency data in batches. Cause: The batch pull limit is set too low, and does not cover the total number of dependency assets for the current project.
How to verify successful configuration
- Call the interface with a valid
Authorizationheader, and confirm the returned response status code is 200. - Check if the fields returned in
responseDatainclude expected dependency details such as component names and version numbers. - Manually adjust the filter conditions in
variables, and verify that the interface return results change accordingly. - Simulate a temporary network interruption, and check if the interface automatically retries per the configured retry count and resumes normal operation.
