| --- | |
| ## π§ͺ Testing | |
| ### Quick Test | |
| ```bash | |
| # 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 | |
| ```bash | |
| # 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 | |
| ``` | |
| --- | |
| ## β‘ Key Features | |
| ### 1. Automatic SPARKNET Initialization | |
| The API automatically initializes all SPARKNET components on startup: | |
| - β LangChain Ollama client | |
| - β PlannerAgent | |
| - β CriticAgent | |
| - β MemoryAgent with ChromaDB | |
| - β 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: | |
| ```javascript | |
| 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 | |

| ## π 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) | |
| --- | |
| ## π¨ Frontend Integration Ready | |
| The backend is fully prepared for frontend integration: | |
| ### API Client (JavaScript/TypeScript) | |
| ```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; | |
| } | |
| }; | |
| ``` | |
| --- | |
| ## π³ Docker Deployment (Ready) | |
| ### Dockerfile | |
| ```dockerfile | |
| FROM python:3.10-slim | |
| WORKDIR /app | |
| # Install dependencies | |
| COPY requirements.txt api/requirements.txt ./ | |
| RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt -r api/requirements.txt | |
| # Copy application | |
| COPY . . | |
| EXPOSE 8000 | |
| CMD ["python", "-m", "api.main"] | |
| ``` | |
| ### Docker Compose | |
| ```yaml | |
| version: '3.8' | |
| services: | |
| api: | |
| build: . | |
| ports: | |
| - "8000:8000" | |
| volumes: | |
| - ./uploads:/app/uploads | |
| - ./outputs:/app/outputs | |
| environment: | |
| - OLLAMA_HOST=http://host.docker.internal:11434 | |
| ``` | |
| **Deploy**: | |
| ```bash | |
| docker-compose up --build | |
| ``` | |
| --- | |
| ## π 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 | |
| --- | |
| ## π Security Considerations | |
| Implemented: | |
| - β File type validation | |
| - β File size limits (50MB) | |
| - β Unique ID generation (UUID4) | |
| - β CORS configuration | |
| - β Path traversal prevention | |
| Recommended for Production: | |
| - [ ] Authentication (JWT/OAuth) | |
| - [ ] Rate limiting | |
| - [ ] HTTPS/SSL | |
| - [ ] Input sanitization | |
| - [ ] File scanning (antivirus) | |

| ## π― Next Steps: Frontend Development | |
| ### Option 1: Modern Next.js Frontend (Recommended) | |
| **Setup**: | |
| ```bash | |
| 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) | |
| ```python | |
| 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']}") | |
| ``` | |
