Phase 1.3 Enhance API Response with Data Formatting & Insights
Software Requirements Specification (SRS)
๐ Phase 1.3 - Enhance API Response with Data Formatting & Insights
1. Objectives
โ Goal
Enhance API responses by providing structured, insightful, and easily interpretable data for better decision-making.
๐ฏ Key Tasks
- Refine API Response Structure: Enhance response structure with clear formatting.
- Include Performance Metrics: Add API performance data (e.g., elapsed time, cache hit/miss).
- Integrate Analytical Insights: Provide automated statistical summaries, anomaly detection, and contextual interpretation.
- Visualisation-Ready Data: Prepare data for seamless integration with frontend visualisation libraries.
2. Task Breakdown
1๏ธโฃ Enhance API Response Structure
- Task: Update the StockResponse model to include performance metrics.
-
Subtasks:
-
Integrate elapsed response time (
elapsed_time
) - Include cache status indicators (cache hit/miss)
- Implement clear data formatting (date/price normalisation)
-
Integrate elapsed response time (
- Expected Output: Well-structured, informative API responses.
2๏ธโฃ Provide Insightful Data Components
- Task: Incorporate statistical summaries and automated analytics into API responses.
-
Subtasks:
- Compute and include summary statistics (high, low, volatility, trend analysis).
- Develop automatic anomaly detection mechanism.
- Generate business-contextual interpretations using AI analysis.
- Expected Output: Data-driven insights delivered automatically with each API response.
3๏ธโฃ Visualisation Support
- Task: Format data specifically for frontend chart libraries.
-
Subtasks:
- Normalise date and price data formats.
- Structure data compatible with popular frontend visualisation libraries (e.g., Chart.js, Recharts).
- Expected Output: Data formatted explicitly for frontend visualisations.
3๏ธโฃ Database & Cache Performance Validation
- Task: Ensure performance optimisations remain effective.
-
Subtasks:
- Validate data retrieval speed with performance measurement.
- Document cache hit rates and data retrieval times.
- Expected Output: Verified continued performance gains from caching strategy.
3. Expected Deliverables
- Enhanced API responses with structured performance data.
- Insightful analytics (summary stats, trends, anomalies) integrated directly into API responses.
- Frontend-ready structured data, easing visualisation integration.
