Customer Technical Support and Pre-sales Q&A for Data Security Classification and Grading: HTTP Interfaces and External Systems

What this category of data looks like

Data for this category comes primarily from data asset inventories, database metadata, business system descriptions, and regulatory documents. Daily maintained documents include data catalogs, classification and grading rules, important data identification tables, and review minutes. Data updates occur quarterly or when the system changes. Core documents contain structured asset fields, grading thresholds, and identification rule entries. There is no unified fixed unit field. Actual attributes of data assets must be matched to business scenarios. Service subjects include data governance teams, security consultants, and legal compliance personnel. The core processing workflow centers on sensitive field identification and grading rule review.

Data sources are diverse and structures are inconsistent. HTTP interfaces must support multi-format data import, including structured metadata and unstructured documents. Data update frequency fluctuates greatly. Interfaces must support both incremental synchronization and full update modes to avoid excessive system resource occupation from frequent full pulls. Daily documents include unstructured content such as review minutes. Interfaces must support multiple upload types including text and tables. There are many time-consuming steps in the core process. External system calls must set reasonable timeout thresholds to prevent task failure from long-term blocking. At the same time, the data involves compliance-related content. The Authorization parameter of the interface must be strictly configured with permission verification to avoid unauthorized access and leakage of sensitive data.

How to set configurations

This page applies to FastGPT v4.17.0.

Configuration ItemRecommended SettingRationale
AuthorizationFixed secret key, valid for 90 daysMatches permission control requirements for compliant data, avoids risks of long-term exposed secrets
variablesPass classification and grading rule ID, data asset scope parametersAdapts to multi-scenario classification and grading task calls, supports dynamic rule adjustment
responseDataReturn structured grading results and verification markersFacilitates direct docking of external systems with compliance review processes, reduces secondary parsing costs
Timeout Duration600 secondsCovers the longest time-consuming scenarios of data asset sorting and sensitive field identification
Single Request Data Volume1000–1500 data entriesBalances interface load and data synchronization efficiency
Single Upload File Size1000 MBAdapts to upload requirements for unstructured documents such as review minutes

Three common mistakes

  • Phenomenon: Garbled characters are returned when uploading data via web pages, files, or APIs, or the responseData field returns garbled content. Cause: The character encoding format of the request header is not specified, leading to parsing errors for multi-byte text.
  • Phenomenon: A 404 status code related to application management is returned when calling the API, or application create, read, update, delete operations cannot be completed. Cause: The application ID and permission scope in the variables parameter are not configured correctly, leading to failed interface permission verification.
  • Phenomenon: The grading results returned by API calls do not match the online chat results, and returned fields are empty or do not meet expectations. Cause: Matching classification and grading rule parameters are not passed in the request, leading the system to execute tasks using default rules.

How to confirm correct configuration

  • Send a test request, check if the Authorization parameter is correctly verified. A 401 status code indicates that a valid secret key was not carried.
  • Pass a preset classification and grading rule ID, verify that the variables parameter is correctly parsed. The returned result will include the matching rule identifier.
  • View the responseData field returned by the interface, confirm that the format of the structured grading result meets expectations.
  • Adjust the single request data volume, observe the interface load status, confirm that no timeout errors occur in the request.
