Common Errors and Fixes
Error 1: "Module not found"
# Solution: Install Python dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
Error 2: "Port 7860 already in use"
# Solution: Kill existing process
lsof -ti:7860 | xargs kill -9
# Or change port in app.py:
# uvicorn.run(app, host="0.0.0.0", port=8080)
Error 3: "Database locked"
# Solution: Close other connections to SQLite
rm data/health_metrics.db
# Database will be recreated on next run
Error 4: "Failed to load resources"
# Solution: Ensure JSON files exist
ls -lh all_apis_merged_2025.json
# Should show 92K file
Error 5: "Connection timeout" during health checks
# Solution: Increase timeout in config
# In monitor.py, change: timeout=10 to timeout=30
Error 6: Node.js "Cannot find module 'https'"
# Solution: Use Node.js 14+ (https is built-in)
node --version
# If < 14, upgrade Node.js
Seed Data
No seed data required - the system uses:
- all_apis_merged_2025.json: Pre-configured with 162+ API endpoints
- Real-time data fetched from live APIs
- Database auto-creates on first run
Verification Commands
# Verify Python installation
python3 --version && pip list | grep -E "(gradio|fastapi|aiohttp)"

Security Notes
API Key Handling
- β Keys are masked in logs: First 4 + last 4 chars only
- β
Never commit
.envto git (in.gitignore) - β Use environment variables in production
- β οΈ Hardcoded fallback keys in code are public tier - safe to use but limited
Rate Limiting
- Monitor enforces delays between requests
- Scheduler respects
MAX_CONCURRENTsetting - CORS proxies have their own limits (documented in code)
Best Practices
- Rotate keys every 90 days
- Use separate keys for dev/staging/prod
- Enable key usage alerts in provider dashboards
- Monitor rate limit consumption via
/history/stats - Use backup keys for critical APIs (CMC, Etherscan)

cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS status_log (...)")
# ... creates all tables
How to Apply
- Automatic on first app startup
- Database file created if not exists
- Schema upgraded via
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
How to Rollback
# Delete database file
rm data/health_metrics.db
# App will recreate on next run
Schema Changes To add columns:
# In database.py _init_database()
cursor.execute("ALTER TABLE status_log ADD COLUMN new_field TEXT")
Data Retention
Automatic Cleanup (scheduler.py)
# Runs every scheduler cycle
self.database.cleanup_old_data(days=7)
- Deletes
status_logrecords older than 7 days - Deletes resolved incidents older than 7 days
- Deletes acknowledged alerts older than 7 days
- Configurable via
DATABASE_RETENTION_DAYSenv var
Manual Cleanup
sqlite3 data/health_metrics.db
> DELETE FROM status_log WHERE created_at < datetime('now', '-30 days');
> VACUUM;
8. Frontend Structure & Conventions
Build System
Node.js Monitor Dashboard
- Framework: None (vanilla HTML/CSS/JavaScript)
- Build: Not required -
dashboard.htmlis served directly - Server:
python3 -m http.server 8080ornpm run dashboard
Gradio Interface
- Framework: Gradio 4.14.0
- Build: None (Gradio handles compilation internally)
- Components: Pre-built Gradio components (gr.DataFrame, gr.Plot, gr.Button, etc.)
Routing
dashboard.html (No routing - single page)
- All content in one HTML file
- JavaScript handles dynamic updates
- Fetches
api-monitor-report.jsonvia AJAX
Gradio (Tab-based navigation)
with gr.Blocks(theme=gr.themes.Soft()) as app:
with gr.Tab("Dashboard"):
# Dashboard components
with gr.Tab("Analytics"):
# Analytics components
# ... 5 tabs total
State Management
dashboard.html
- No formal state management
- DOM updates via vanilla JavaScript
- Global variables for current report
Gradio
- Component state managed by Gradio framework
- Global variables for shared state:
current_results = [] # Latest health check results last_check_time = None - Database serves as persistent state store
Theming
dashboard.html
/* Gradient background */
background: linear-gradient(135deg, #667eea 0%, #764ba2 100%);
/* Card shadows */
box-shadow: 0 10px 30px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
/* Status colors */
.online { color: #10b981; }
.degraded { color: #f59e0b; }
.offline { color: #ef4444; }
Gradio
gr.Blocks(theme=gr.themes.Soft())
# Uses Gradio's Soft theme
# Custom CSS can be added via css= parameter
Component Conventions
dashboard.html
- BEM-like naming:
.stat-card,.category-section - Status badges: π’ π‘ π΄ (emoji)
- Responsive grid:
grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(250px, 1fr))
Gradio Components
# Naming convention: {purpose}_{type}
status_df = gr.DataFrame(label="Resource Status")
refresh_btn = gr.Button("Refresh", variant="primary")
category_dropdown = gr.Dropdown(choices=["All", ...], value="All")
Where to Add Features
New Tab in Gradio
# In app_gradio.py, after existing tabs
with gr.Tab("Your New Tab"):
with gr.Column():
gr.Markdown("## Your Feature")
# Add components
your_output = gr.Textbox()
your_button = gr.Button("Action")
# Wire up event handler
your_button.click(
fn=your_function,
inputs=[],
outputs=[your_output]
)
New Chart in Analytics
# In app_gradio.py, create_analytics_charts() function
def create_analytics_charts():
# ... existing charts ...
# Add new chart
fig_new = px.bar(data, x='category', y='value', title="New Metric")
return fig_uptime, fig_response, fig_new # Add to return tuple
# Update outputs in analytics_tab
analytics_btn.click(
fn=create_analytics_charts,
outputs=[uptime_chart, response_chart, new_chart] # Add new output
)
New Section in dashboard.html
<!-- After existing category sections -->
<div class="category-section">
<h2 class="category-title">π YOUR NEW SECTION</h2>
<div class="resource-grid" id="your-section">
<!-- JavaScript will populate this -->
</div>
</div>
// In <script> section, add to renderReport()
function renderYourSection(data) {
const container = document.getElementById('your-section');
container.innerHTML = data.map(item => `
<div class="resource-card">...</div>
`).join('');
}

11. Extensibility Playbook
How to Add a New API Endpoint (FastAPI)
Step 1: Define Pydantic model (if needed)
# In app.py
class NewFeatureRequest(BaseModel):
param1: str
param2: Optional[int] = None
Step 2: Create endpoint function
# In app.py
@app.post("/new-feature")
async def new_feature(request: NewFeatureRequest):
"""Your new feature"""
# Process request
result = process_feature(request.param1, request.param2)
# Log to database (optional)
log_query("new_feature", "custom", "", "success", 0.1)
return {
"success": True,
"data": result,
"timestamp": datetime.now().isoformat()
}
Step 3: Test endpoint
curl -X POST http://localhost:7860/new-feature \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"param1": "test", "param2": 123}'
How to Add a New UI Page (Gradio Tab)
Step 1: Create tab in app_gradio.py
# After existing tabs
with gr.Tab("Your New Feature"):
with gr.Column():
gr.Markdown("## New Feature Description")
# Input components
input_text = gr.Textbox(label="Input", placeholder="Enter value...")
process_btn = gr.Button("Process", variant="primary")
# Output components
output_result = gr.Textbox(label="Result", interactive=False)
output_chart = gr.Plot(label="Visualization")
# Wire up event handler
process_btn.click(
fn=your_processing_function,
inputs=[input_text],
outputs=[output_result, output_chart]
)
def your_processing_function(input_value: str):
"""Process the input and return results"""
# Your logic here
result_text = f"Processed: {input_value}"
# Create chart
fig = px.bar(x=['A', 'B', 'C'], y=[1, 2, 3])
return result_text, fig
Step 2: Test in browser
python app_gradio.py
# Open: http://localhost:7860
# Click "Your New Feature" tab
How to Add a New Background Job (Scheduler)
Step 1: Create job function in scheduler.py
# In scheduler.py
def _your_new_job(self):
"""Your scheduled task"""
try:
logger.info("Running your new job...")
# Your logic here
results = perform_task()
# Save to database
self.database.save_custom_data(results)
logger.info("Job completed successfully")
except Exception as e:
logger.error(f"Job failed: {e}")
Step 2: Schedule the job
# In scheduler.py start() method
self.scheduler.add_job(
func=self._your_new_job,
trigger=IntervalTrigger(hours=1), # Every hour
id='your_job_id',
name='Your Custom Job',
replace_existing=True
)
Step 3: Test manually
# In Python REPL
from scheduler import BackgroundScheduler
from monitor import APIMonitor
from database import Database
from config import config
monitor = APIMonitor(config)
db = Database()
scheduler = BackgroundScheduler(monitor, db)
# Trigger manually
scheduler._your_new_job()
How to Add a New Third-Party Provider
Step 1: Add to all_apis_merged_2025.json
{
"discovered_keys": {
"your_new_provider": "your_api_key_here"
},
"raw_files": [
{
"content": "YourProvider: your_api_key_here"
}
]
}
Step 2: Add resource definition in config.py
# In config.py _load_fallback_resources() or parse logic
{
"category": "Market Data",
"name": "YourProvider",
"url": "https://api.yourprovider.com/v1",
"key": self.api_keys.get('your_new_provider', ''),
"free": False,
"rateLimit": "1000/day",
"desc": "Your provider description",
"endpoint": "/market/prices",
"tier": 2
}
Step 3: Add health check logic in monitor.py (if custom)
# In monitor.py check_endpoint()
# Custom headers
if 'yourprovider' in provider_name.lower():
headers['X-API-KEY'] = api_key
headers['Custom-Header'] = 'value'
Step 4: Add to Node.js monitor (optional)
// In api-monitor.js API_REGISTRY
marketData: {
yourprovider: [
{
name: 'YourProvider',
url: 'https://api.yourprovider.com/v1',
keyName: 'your_new_provider',
keyIndex: 0,
testEndpoint: '/health',
tier: 2
}
]
}
Step 5: Test the new provider
# Python test
python -c "from config import config; print(config.get_all_resources())"
# Full health check
python app_gradio.py
# Click "Run Health Check", verify new provider appears

12. Risks, Limits, and TODOs
Known Limitations
1. SQLite Concurrency
- β Issue: SQLite locks during writes, blocking concurrent operations
- Impact: High-frequency writes may cause "database locked" errors
- Mitigation: Use WAL mode, add retry logic
- TODO: Consider PostgreSQL for production with >10 req/sec
2. API Rate Limits
- β Issue: Free tier APIs have strict limits (e.g., CMC: 333/day)
- Impact: Frequent monitoring exhausts daily quota
- Mitigation: Implemented caching, configurable intervals
- TODO: Add rate limit tracking per provider, auto-throttle
3. No Authentication
- β Issue: FastAPI/Gradio endpoints are public (no auth)
- Impact: Anyone can query your APIs, deplete rate limits
- Mitigation: Deploy on private HF Space or add IP whitelist
- TODO: Implement API key authentication for /query endpoint
4. Single Point of Failure
- β Issue: If host goes down, entire service is unavailable
- Impact: No redundancy for critical monitoring
- Mitigation: Use managed platforms (HF Spaces has 99% uptime)
- TODO: Multi-region deployment (HF Spaces + Heroku)
5. No Real-Time WebSockets
- β Issue: Gradio uses polling, not true real-time updates
- Impact: 30s delay before UI reflects new data
- Mitigation: Acceptable for monitoring use case
- TODO: Consider FastAPI WebSocket for push updates
Technical Debt
1. Hardcoded API Keys
- Location:
config.pylines 36-44,api-monitor.js(in JSON) - Issue: Keys committed to repo (safe for public tier, but bad practice)
- TODO: Remove all hardcoded keys, enforce env var usage
2. No Unit Tests
- Coverage: ~0% (only integration tests)
- Issue: Refactoring risks breaking existing features
- TODO: Add pytest suite with 80% coverage target
3. Magic Numbers
- Examples: Timeouts (10s), intervals (5 min), retention (7 days)
- Issue: Hard to tune without code changes
- TODO: Move to config file or database
4. Mixed Languages
- Issue: Node.js + Python requires two runtimes
- TODO: Rewrite api-monitor.js in Python for consistency
5. No Logging Infrastructure
- Issue: Logs go to stdout, no structured logging or aggregation
- TODO: Add structured logging (JSON), ship to external service (Datadog, ELK)
Security Concerns
1. API Key Exposure
- β οΈ Risk: Keys visible in logs (first/last 4 chars)
- Mitigation: Mask in logs, use secrets managers
- TODO: Integrate with HF Secrets, AWS Secrets Manager
2. SQL Injection (Low risk)
- β οΈ Risk: SQL queries use parameterized statements (safe)
- Status: β
Not vulnerable (using
?placeholders)
3. SSRF via /query Endpoint
- β οΈ Risk: User could query internal services via CORS proxy
- Mitigation: Whitelist allowed base URLs
- TODO: Add URL validation, block private IPs (192.168., 10., 127.*)
4. DoS via Rate Limit Exhaustion
- β οΈ Risk: Attacker spams /query, exhausts API quotas
- Mitigation: None currently
- TODO: Add rate limiting (Flask-Limiter), API key per user
Rate Limit Exposure
Current Limits (Free Tiers):
| Provider | Limit | Monitoring Impact | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| CoinGecko | 10-30/min | β Safe (1 call/5min) | OK |
| CoinMarketCap | 333/day | β οΈ At risk (288 calls/day @ 5min interval) | High usage |
| Etherscan | 5/sec, 100K/day | β Safe (1 call/5min) | OK |
| NewsAPI | 100/day | β οΈ At risk if queried frequently | Monitor closely |
| Infura | 100K/day | β Safe | OK |
Mitigation:
- β Caching (60s TTL) reduces duplicate calls
- β Configurable intervals (5 min default)
- β TODO: Track usage per provider, alert at 80% threshold
Single Points of Failure (SPOFs)
Identified SPOFs:
Database File (
health_metrics.db)- Risk: Corruption or deletion loses all history
- Mitigation: Daily backups (not implemented)
- TODO: Add automated backup to S3/cloud storage
Scheduler Thread
- Risk: If APScheduler crashes, monitoring stops
- Mitigation: Gradio restarts on crash
- TODO: Add health check endpoint for scheduler status
Single API Key per Provider
- Risk: If Etherscan key banned, no Ethereum data
- Mitigation: Backup keys implemented for CMC, Etherscan
- TODO: Auto-rotate to backup on 429 errors
Dependency on Hugging Face
- Risk: If HF Spaces has outage, service down
- Mitigation: Can deploy to Heroku/Railway
- TODO: Multi-cloud deployment script
TODOs (Prioritized)
High Priority (Critical for production)
- Add authentication to FastAPI /query endpoint
- Implement rate limit tracking and alerts
- Add automated database backups
- Remove hardcoded API keys from codebase
- Add URL validation to prevent SSRF
Medium Priority (Improve reliability)
- Switch to PostgreSQL for high concurrency
- Add pytest unit test suite (80% coverage target)
- Implement structured logging (JSON format)
- Add Prometheus metrics endpoint (/metrics)
- Multi-region deployment (HF + Heroku)
Low Priority (Nice to have)
- Rewrite Node.js tools in Python
- Add WebSocket support for real-time updates
- Create Grafana dashboards for metrics
- Add email/Slack alerts for Tier-1 outages
- Implement auto-retry with exponential backoff
