# Verify Node.js is available
node --version  # Should show v14.0.0 or higher

Step 3: Set Up Python Environment

# Create virtual environment (recommended)
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

# Install Python dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

Step 4: Configure Environment Variables

# Copy the example file
cp .env.example .env

# Edit with your API keys (optional - most APIs work without keys)
nano .env  # or use your preferred editor

Minimal .env for Testing (all optional):

# Block Explorers (optional - fallback keys included in code)
ETHERSCAN_KEY=your_key_here
BSCSCAN_KEY=your_key_here

# Market Data (CoinGecko is free, no key needed)
CMC_KEY=your_coinmarketcap_key

# Database
DATABASE_PATH=data/health_metrics.db
SCHEDULER_INTERVAL_MINUTES=5

Step 5: Initialize Database (automatic on first run)

# Database is created automatically when you first run the app
# No manual initialization needed

Running the Applications

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)"

# Verify Node.js installation
node --version && node -e "console.log('Node.js OK')"

# Test FastAPI endpoints
curl http://localhost:7860/health
curl http://localhost:7860/resources

# Test Gradio is running
curl http://localhost:7860 | grep "gradio"

# Check database
sqlite3 data/health_metrics.db ".tables"
# Should show: alerts, configuration, incidents, response_times, status_log

# Verify monitoring output
ls -lh api-monitor-report.json failover-config.json

Security Notes

API Key Handling

  • βœ… Keys are masked in logs: First 4 + last 4 chars only
  • βœ… Never commit .env to git (in .gitignore)
  • βœ… Use environment variables in production
  • ⚠️ Hardcoded fallback keys in code are public tier - safe to use but limited

Rate Limiting

  • Monitor enforces delays between requests
  • Scheduler respects MAX_CONCURRENT setting
  • CORS proxies have their own limits (documented in code)

Best Practices

  1. Rotate keys every 90 days
  2. Use separate keys for dev/staging/prod
  3. Enable key usage alerts in provider dashboards
  4. Monitor rate limit consumption via /history/stats
  5. Use backup keys for critical APIs (CMC, Etherscan)

Gradio Interface (Port 7860)

Gradio provides a web UI, not RESTful API. Accessible via:

  • Direct access: http://localhost:7860
  • Tabs: Dashboard, Analytics, History, Incidents, Settings
  • Actions: Button clicks, dropdowns, sliders (not HTTP endpoints)

Event/Message Schemas

N/A - This project does not use queues or WebSockets. All communication is HTTP request/response.

Error Response Format

Standard Error Shape (FastAPI)

{
  "detail": "Category 'invalid_category' not found"
}

HTTP Status Codes Used

  • 200 OK: Successful request
  • 404 Not Found: Resource/category not found
  • 422 Unprocessable Entity: Invalid request body (Pydantic validation)
  • 500 Internal Server Error: Unexpected server error

7. Data Storage & Migrations

Database Engines

SQLite 3

  • Used for both history.db (FastAPI) and health_metrics.db (Gradio)
  • File-based, no separate server needed
  • Concurrent reads, sequential writes
  • ACID compliant

Connection Strings

FastAPI (history.db)

conn = sqlite3.connect('history.db')
# No password, local file

Gradio (health_metrics.db)

db_path = Path("data/health_metrics.db")
conn = sqlite3.connect(db_path)
# Configured via DATABASE_PATH env var

Migrations

No Migration System - Tables are created automatically on first run via:

# database.py - _init_database() method
def _init_database(self):
    with self.get_connection() as conn:
        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_log records older than 7 days
  • Deletes resolved incidents older than 7 days
  • Deletes acknowledged alerts older than 7 days
  • Configurable via DATABASE_RETENTION_DAYS env 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.html is served directly
  • Server: python3 -m http.server 8080 or npm 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.json via 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: 🟒 🟑 πŸ”΄ (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">πŸ“Š 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('');
}

9. Testing & CI/CD

Test Framework

Python Tests

  • Framework: Built-in requests library (test_aggregator.py)
  • Type: Integration tests (black-box API testing)
  • Runner: Python interpreter (no pytest/unittest)

Node.js Tests

  • Framework: None currently
  • Validation: Manual via node api-monitor.js output inspection

How to Run Tests

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

  • ❌ 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

  • ❌ 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

  • ❌ 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

  • ❌ 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

  • ❌ 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.py lines 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

  • ⚠️ 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)

  • ⚠️ Risk: SQL queries use parameterized statements (safe)
  • Status: βœ… Not vulnerable (using ? placeholders)

3. SSRF via /query Endpoint

  • ⚠️ 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

  • ⚠️ 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 βœ… Safe (1 call/5min) OK
CoinMarketCap 333/day ⚠️ At risk (288 calls/day @ 5min interval) High usage
Etherscan 5/sec, 100K/day βœ… Safe (1 call/5min) OK
NewsAPI 100/day ⚠️ At risk if queried frequently Monitor closely
Infura 100K/day βœ… Safe OK

Mitigation:

  • βœ… Caching (60s TTL) reduces duplicate calls
  • βœ… Configurable intervals (5 min default)
  • ❌ TODO: Track usage per provider, alert at 80% threshold

Single Points of Failure (SPOFs)

Identified SPOFs:

  1. 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
  2. Scheduler Thread

    • Risk: If APScheduler crashes, monitoring stops
    • Mitigation: Gradio restarts on crash
    • TODO: Add health check endpoint for scheduler status
  3. 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
  4. 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)

  • 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)

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
