🧪 Testing

Quick Test

# 1. Start API
python -m api.main

# 2. Run test suite
python test_api.py

Manual Test with OpenAPI Docs

1. Start API: python -m api.main
2. Open browser: http://localhost:8000/api/docs
3. Test all endpoints interactively

curl Examples

# Upload patent
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/patents/upload \
  -F "file=@Dataset/patent.pdf"

# Start workflow
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/workflows/execute \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"patent_id": "YOUR_PATENT_ID"}'

# Check status
curl http://localhost:8000/api/workflows/YOUR_WORKFLOW_ID

⚡ Key Features

1. Automatic SPARKNET Initialization

The API automatically initializes all SPARKNET components on startup:

• ✅ LangChain Ollama client
• ✅ PlannerAgent
• ✅ CriticAgent
• ✅ MemoryAgent with ChromaDB
• ✅ Complete LangGraph workflow

2. Background Task Processing

Workflows run in the background using FastAPI's BackgroundTasks:

• Non-blocking API responses
• Parallel workflow execution
• Progress tracking
• Error isolation

3. Real-Time WebSocket Updates

WebSocket endpoint provides live updates:

const ws = new WebSocket('ws://localhost:8000/api/workflows/{id}/stream');
ws.onmessage = (event) => {
  const data = JSON.parse(event.data);
  // Update UI with progress
};

4. Comprehensive Error Handling

• File validation (type, size)
• Missing resource checks
• Graceful failure modes
• Detailed error messages

5. Production Ready

• CORS configured for frontend
• Health check endpoints
• Auto-generated API documentation
• Lifecycle management
• Logging with Loguru

📊 Workflow States

State	Description	Progress
queued	Waiting to start	0%
running	Executing pipeline	10-90%
completed	Successfully finished	100%
failed	Error occurred	N/A

Progress Breakdown:

• 0-10%: Initialization
• 10-30%: Document Analysis (Patent extraction + TRL)
• 30-50%: Market Analysis (Opportunities identification)
• 50-80%: Matchmaking (Partner matching with semantic search)
• 80-100%: Outreach (Brief generation)

---

🎨 Frontend Integration Ready

The backend is fully prepared for frontend integration:

API Client (JavaScript/TypeScript)

// api-client.ts
const API_BASE = 'http://localhost:8000';

export const api = {
  // Upload patent
  async uploadPatent(file: File) {
    const formData = new FormData();
    formData.append('file', file);

    const response = await fetch(`${API_BASE}/api/patents/upload`, {
      method: 'POST',
      body: formData
    });

    return response.json();
  },

  // Start workflow
  async executeWorkflow(patentId: string) {
    const response = await fetch(`${API_BASE}/api/workflows/execute`, {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
      body: JSON.stringify({ patent_id: patentId })
    });

    return response.json();
  },

  // Get workflow status
  async getWorkflow(workflowId: string) {
    const response = await fetch(`${API_BASE}/api/workflows/${workflowId}`);
    return response.json();
  },

  // Stream workflow updates
  streamWorkflow(workflowId: string, onUpdate: (data: any) => void) {
    const ws = new WebSocket(`ws://localhost:8000/api/workflows/${workflowId}/stream`);

    ws.onmessage = (event) => {
      const data = JSON.parse(event.data);
      onUpdate(data);
    };

    return ws;
  }
};

📈 Performance

Benchmarks (Estimated)

• Startup Time: ~5-10 seconds (Ollama model loading)
• Upload Speed: ~1-2 seconds for 10MB PDF
• Workflow Execution: 2-5 minutes per patent (depends on GPU)
• API Response Time: <100ms for status checks
• WebSocket Latency: <50ms for updates

Scalability

• Concurrent Uploads: Unlimited (async file handling)
• Parallel Workflows: Limited by GPU memory (~2-4 simultaneous)
• Storage: Disk-based (scales with available storage)
• Memory: ~2-4GB per active workflow

---

🔒 Security Considerations

Implemented:

• ✅ File type validation
• ✅ File size limits (50MB)
• ✅ Unique ID generation (UUID4)
• ✅ CORS configuration
• ✅ Path traversal prevention

Recommended for Production:

• Authentication (JWT/OAuth)
• Rate limiting
• HTTPS/SSL
• Input sanitization
• File scanning (antivirus)

---

🎯 Next Steps: Frontend Development

Option 1: Modern Next.js Frontend (Recommended)

Setup:

npx create-next-app@latest frontend --typescript --tailwind --app
cd frontend
npm install @radix-ui/react-* framer-motion recharts lucide-react

Pages to Build:

1. Home page with features showcase
2. Upload page with drag-and-drop
3. Workflow progress page with real-time updates
4. Results page with charts and visualizations

Option 2: Simple HTML/JS Frontend (Quick Test)

Create a single HTML file with vanilla JavaScript for quick testing.

Option 3: Dashboard with Streamlit (Alternative)

import streamlit as st
import requests

st.title("SPARKNET - Patent Analysis")

uploaded_file = st.file_uploader("Upload Patent", type=['pdf'])

if uploaded_file and st.button("Analyze"):
    # Upload to API
    files = {'file': uploaded_file}
    response = requests.post('http://localhost:8000/api/patents/upload', files=files)
    patent_id = response.json()['patent_id']

    # Start workflow
    workflow_response = requests.post(
        'http://localhost:8000/api/workflows/execute',
        json={'patent_id': patent_id}
    )

    st.success(f"Analysis started! Workflow ID: {workflow_response.json()['workflow_id']}")
