Publishing Instructions and Operation Report Summary for Tender Document Preparation: HTTP Interfaces and External Systems

This category of data comes from tender announcements, bidding documents, enterprise qualification databases, and supplier quotations. Each tender

What the data for this category looks like

This category of data comes from tender announcements, bidding documents, enterprise qualification databases, and supplier quotations. Each tender project receives independent updates for its associated data. Core documents cover tender documents, qualification certificates, business deviation tables, and technical deviation tables. Fields include tender numbers, project names, qualification verification items, clause response content, associated file IDs, and other relevant items. There are no unified fixed multi-project batch fields. A single document is bound to exactly one tender project.

What constraints these characteristics impose on HTTP interfaces and external systems

The single-project bound data characteristic requires interface calls to use a unique tender project ID as the core identifier. This prevents cross-project data confusion. The differentiated field structures of multiple document types require interface parameters to support dynamic field mapping. This adapts to the field requirements of different documents such as qualification certificates and deviation tables. The decentralized nature of data sources requires external systems to aggregate multi-source data via HTTP interfaces. It also requires strict compliance checks on incoming fields to prevent bid invalidation risks. Each call must match the full data scope of a single project. This avoids missing key qualifications or response clauses.

How to configure settings

The following configurations are based on FastGPT v4.17.0.

Configuration ItemRecommended ApproachRationale
Interface authentication methodAuthorization header carries Bearer Token formatComplies with industry-standard API authentication specifications to secure interface calls
Request timeout period300–600 secondsTender document data for single projects has large volume; prevents call interruptions due to network latency
Variable mapping ruleBind a dedicated field set per tender project IDAdapts to the data characteristic of independent updates per single project, avoids cross-project data confusion
Response data processingOnly return business results encapsulated in the responseData fieldComplies with FastGPT standard interface return formats, simplifies external system data parsing
Retry trigger conditionTrigger when receiving a 5xx status code or an empty responseData fieldAddresses temporary network fluctuations or interface exceptions, ensures complete data acquisition
Field verification configurationVerify the existence of mandatory fields specified in tender requirementsAligns with the consequences of errors during tender document preparation, proactively avoids bid invalidation risks

Three common configuration errors

  • Issue: When passing a file ID during an interface call, the returned collection ID does not match the expected value. Cause: The mapping relationship between file collections and file IDs was not bound per tender project dimension. This causes cross-project data interference.
  • Issue: The responseData field returned by the interface is missing key qualification item content. Cause: The corresponding field mapping rules for tender requirements were not configured in variables. This prevents the interface from extracting correct business data.
  • Issue: Unnecessary retry operations are triggered after an interface call. Cause: Retry trigger conditions were not configured correctly. 4xx status codes for parameter errors were included in the retry scope, wasting call resources.

How to confirm configuration is complete

  • Call the interface with parameters for a known tender project. Check if the returned responseData field contains core document data for that project.
  • Simulate a temporary network exception. Check if the interface triggers retry actions per the configured retry conditions.
  • Pass fields that do not meet tender requirements. Check if the interface triggers the corresponding verification logic.
  • Call the interface to obtain a collection ID. Check if it is correctly bound to the passed file-id.
