β RagBot API - Implementation Complete & Working
π Status: FULLY FUNCTIONAL
The RagBot API has been successfully implemented, debugged, and is now running!
What Was Built
Complete FastAPI REST API (20 Files, ~1,800 Lines)
Core Application (api/app/)
- main.py (200 lines) - FastAPI application with lifespan management, CORS, error handling
- models/schemas.py (350 lines) - 15+ Pydantic models for request/response validation
- services/extraction.py (300 lines) - Natural language biomarker extraction with LLM
- services/ragbot.py (370 lines) - Workflow wrapper with full response formatting
- routes/health.py (70 lines) - Health check endpoint
- routes/biomarkers.py (90 lines) - Biomarker catalog endpoint
- routes/analyze.py (280 lines) - 3 analysis endpoints
5 REST Endpoints
GET /api/v1/health- API status and system healthGET /api/v1/biomarkers- List of 24 supported biomarkersPOST /api/v1/analyze/natural- Natural language input β JSON analysisPOST /api/v1/analyze/structured- Direct JSON input β analysisGET /api/v1/example- Pre-run diabetes case (no Ollama needed)
Response Format
- Full Detail: All agent outputs, citations, reasoning
- Comprehensive: Biomarker flags, safety alerts, key drivers, explanations, recommendations
- Nested Structure: Complete workflow metadata and processing details
- Type Safe: All responses validated with Pydantic models
Deployment Ready
- Docker: Multi-stage Dockerfile + docker-compose.yml
- Environment: Configuration via .env files
- CORS: Enabled for all origins (MVP/testing)
- Logging: Structured logging throughout
- Error Handling: Validation errors and general exceptions
Documentation (6 Files, 1,500+ Lines)
- README.md (500 lines) - Complete guide with examples
- GETTING_STARTED.md (200 lines) - 5-minute quick start
- QUICK_REFERENCE.md - Command cheat sheet
- IMPLEMENTATION_COMPLETE.md (350 lines) - Build summary
- ARCHITECTURE.md (400 lines) - Visual diagrams and flow
- START_HERE.md (NEW) - Fixed issue + quick test guide
Testing & Scripts
- test_api.ps1 (100 lines) - PowerShell test suite
- start_server.ps1 - Server startup with checks (in api/)
- start_api.ps1 - Startup script (in root)
The Bug & Fix
Problem
When running from the api/ directory, the API couldn't find the vector store because:
- RagBot source code uses relative path:
data/vector_stores - Running from
api/β resolves toapi/data/vector_stores(doesn't exist) - Actual location:
../data/vector_stores(parent directory)
Solution
Modified api/app/services/ragbot.py to temporarily change working directory during initialization:
def initialize(self):
original_dir = os.getcwd()
try:
# Change to RagBot root so paths work
ragbot_root = Path(__file__).parent.parent.parent.parent
os.chdir(ragbot_root)
print(f"π Working directory: {ragbot_root}")
# Initialize workflow (paths now resolve correctly)
self.guild = create_guild()
finally:
# Restore original directory
os.chdir(original_dir)
Result
π Working directory: C:\Users\admin\OneDrive\Documents\GitHub\RagBot
β Loaded vector store from: data\vector_stores\medical_knowledge.faiss
β Created 4 specialized retrievers
β All agents initialized successfully
β
RagBot initialized successfully (6440ms)
