Technical Documentation and API Q&A for Tender Document Preparation: HTTP Interfaces and External Systems

Data for this category comes from tender announcements, tender documents, enterprise qualification databases, and supplier quotations. The update

What this category of data looks like

Data for this category comes from tender announcements, tender documents, enterprise qualification databases, and supplier quotations. The update frequency is per order. Daily processed documents include tender documents, qualification certificates, business deviation tables, and technical deviation tables. Document structures include structured clauses, qualification fields, and format validation items. Fields must strictly match the format required by the tenderer, and units must correspond to the qualification levels, quoted amounts, and other requirements specified in the tender announcement. The most time-consuming steps are clause-by-clause response, qualification material verification, and seal packaging inspection. All data must be organized around the tender format and qualification response requirements.

Data for this category is updated per order and must strictly match tender formats. Therefore, HTTP interfaces must support on-demand single trigger calls to avoid frequent pulling of duplicate data. Structured field requirements for multiple document types require interfaces to support multi-format data parsing and field extraction, ensuring that returned content can be directly used for tender document preparation. Since the consequences of errors include bid invalidation, score deductions, or margin losses, interfaces must have retry mechanisms and parameter validation capabilities to ensure call stability. At the same time, data must strictly correspond to the specific requirements of the tenderer. Interface returned content must filter irrelevant information, retaining only the clauses and qualification content required for tender preparation.

How to set configurations

Configuration ItemRecommended SettingRationale
Timeout duration600 secondsTender document preparation includes multiple rounds of clause matching and qualification verification, which needs to cover the complete processing workflow
Authentication methodAuthorization header carrying Bearer tokenComplies with FastGPT v4.17.0 API authentication specifications to ensure interface call security
Dynamic variable configurationPass exclusive parameters via variablesUsed to fill in order-specific content such as tender project numbers and qualification requirements
Response data extractionFilter by the responseData fieldOnly return structured information required for tender document preparation, reducing redundant content
Single request context lengthFirst 1200 charactersMatches the common length of core clauses in tender announcements, avoiding truncation of critical requirements

Three common mistakes

  • Receiving a 401 Unauthorized status code from interface calls. The cause is incorrect configuration of the Authorization parameter, with token format or permission scope not meeting FastGPT API requirements.
  • Empty qualification material fields returned by the interface. The cause is failure to pass correct enterprise qualification database query parameters via variables, resulting in a retrieval scope that does not meet tender requirements.
  • Timeout error triggered after interface calls exceed the preset duration. The cause is failure to adjust the timeout configuration, as the default duration is insufficient to cover the multi-round matching workflow for tender documents.

How to confirm configurations are correct

  • Initiate a test call, pass a simulated tender announcement snippet, and check whether the returned content includes matching qualification requirement clauses.
  • Review interface call logs to confirm that the Authorization parameter has been correctly carried with no format errors.
  • Verify the extraction logic of the responseData field, ensuring that only structured data required for tender document preparation is returned with no redundant content.
  • After adjusting the timeout configuration, initiate a test call including multiple rounds of qualification material verification, confirming that the workflow is not interrupted.
