Technical Documentation and Interface Q&A for Prototyping and Interaction Design: HTTP Interfaces and External Systems

What does the data for this category look like?

This data is typically maintained by product designers and interaction designers. Data sources include Figma or Axure files, team design systems, user feedback, and usability test records. Daily deliverables include interactive prototypes, page flowcharts, component descriptions, and review records. Core fields cover component names, interaction actions, jump paths, and exception scenarios. The update frequency is usually weekly or per version iteration. During updates, many detailed adjustments and supplementary exception scenarios are added. The overall content structure is relatively scattered but highly correlated.

What constraints do these characteristics impose on HTTP interfaces and external systems?

Since data is scattered across multiple design tools and updated frequently, interfaces must support cross-source design document pulling and real-time synchronization. The accuracy of core fields directly affects R&D teams' understanding of interaction paths, so interface responses must strictly match the core fields defined in prototype designs. Supplementary exception scenarios increase the contextual complexity of Q&A, so interfaces must support precise multi-turn matching. Additionally, the update rhythm of design documents requires interfaces to have stable response times to avoid synchronization interruptions and R&D rework caused by timeouts.

How to set configurations?

Configuration ItemRecommended ValueRationale
AIPROXY_API_ENDPOINT (AI Proxy service root address environment variable)http://aiproxy:3000Meets FastGPT v4.17.0+ server environment variable requirements, no additional /v1 or path suffix required, non-single-model service address
AIPROXY_API_TOKEN (AI Proxy administrator token environment variable)Non-empty string matching the server configurationRequired environment variable for FastGPT server, meets startup verification and authentication requirements. Must not be replaced with application API keys, model vendor keys, or request-estimated token counts
Request timeout600 secondsAdapts to the average response time for design document pulling and Q&A, avoids frequent timeouts
Single recall countTop 8 entriesCovers core interaction scenarios of prototype designs, reduces redundant data returned
Context length800–1200 charactersAdapts to the single-page content length of prototype documents, ensures contextual accuracy for Q&A

Three common mistakes

  • An interface call returns a "quota exceeded" error with status code 429. Troubleshooting steps: Confirm whether the quota limits of model vendors are confused with the AI Proxy authentication logic, or if a non-administrator token was used to send the request.
  • An error "channel unavailable" is prompted when adding a native Gemini channel. Troubleshooting steps: Confirm whether the official key was not filled in via the model channel configuration page, or if the AIPROXY_API_ENDPOINT and AIPROXY_API_TOKEN environment variables were misconfigured.
  • The interaction path returned by the interface does not match the actual design document. Troubleshooting steps: Confirm whether the correct variables parameter was not passed in the request to specify the design source.

How to confirm the configuration is complete

  • Check the FastGPT server startup logs for no error messages stating "missing AIPROXYAPIENDPOINT or AIPROXYAPITOKEN".
  • Test the upstream model on the model channel configuration page, confirm the prompt "test passed" is returned.
  • Send an interface request, verify that the returned results include core fields such as component names and interaction paths required for prototype design.
  • Adjust the design source identifier in the request parameters, confirm that the interface returns document content from the corresponding data source.
