# SatLoc API Integration Summary ## Overview This document summarizes the updates made to the partner integration system based on the official SatLoc Technical Document - Vendor API Services. ## Key Changes from Generic Implementation ### 1. Updated Base URL - **Previous**: `https://api.satloc.com/v1` (generic assumption) - **Actual**: `https://www.satloccloud.com/api/Satloc` ### 2. Authentication Method - **Previous**: Bearer token-based authentication - **Actual**: Query parameter authentication using email/password ``` GET /AuthenticateAPIUser?userLogin=vendor%40myk.com&password=Home4663%23 ``` ### 3. Response Format All SatLoc APIs return responses in this standardized format: ```json { "IsSuccess": true/false, "ErrorMessage": null/"error description", "Result": {...} // Actual response data } ``` ### 4. Actual API Endpoints | Operation | Endpoint | Method | Description | |-----------|----------|---------|-------------| | Health Check | `/IsAlive` | GET | Service availability check | | Authentication | `/AuthenticateAPIUser` | GET | User authentication | | Get Aircraft | `/GetAircraftList` | GET | Retrieve aircraft for company | | Get Flight Logs | `/GetAircraftLogs` | GET | Get flight logs for aircraft | | Get Log Data | `/GetAircraftLogData` | GET | Download actual log file | | Upload Job | `/UploadJobData` | POST | Upload job data (multipart) | ### 5. Required Parameters #### Authentication Response ```json { "IsSuccess": true, "ErrorMessage": null, "Result": { "UserId": "a2991888-5c7f-4101-8e0d-0a390c26720c", "CompanyId": "36c0f342-e4e2-4fcb-b219-9cd1fad2c1ff", "Token": "jwt_token_here", "ExpiresAt": "2025-07-19T10:30:00Z" } } ``` #### Aircraft List Response ```json { "IsSuccess": true, "ErrorMessage": null, "Result": [ { "AircraftId": "23bee7aa-c949-4089-854a-2ab58b40294f", "AircraftName": "Satloc Drone 1", "AircraftType": "Multirotor", "Status": "Available", "LastSeen": "2025-07-18T08:30:00Z" } ] } ``` ## Implementation Updates ### 1. Environment Variables ```bash # SatLoc Configuration (Customer-specific credentials stored in PartnerSystemUser records) SATLOC_API_ENDPOINT=https://www.satloccloud.com/api/Satloc SATLOC_API_TIMEOUT=30000 SATLOC_RETRY_ATTEMPTS=3 SATLOC_RATE_LIMIT=5 ``` ### 2. Updated SatlocService Class The `SatlocService` implementation has been updated to: - Use query parameter authentication instead of bearer tokens - Handle the SatLoc-specific response format (`IsSuccess`, `ErrorMessage`, `Result`) - Use proper endpoint paths from the technical documentation - Support multipart form data for job uploads - Handle UserId and CompanyId parameters for API calls ### 3. Rate Limiting - **Requests per second**: 5 (reduced from assumed 10) - **Burst limit**: 20 requests in 10-second window - **Daily limit**: 10,000 requests per user ### 4. Error Handling Updated error handling to work with SatLoc's response format: ```javascript if (response.data.IsSuccess) { return response.data.Result; } else { throw new Error(response.data.ErrorMessage); } ``` ## Files Updated 1. **`docs/SATLOC_API_SPECIFICATION.md`** - New file with complete SatLoc API documentation 2. **`docs/IMPLEMENTATION_GUIDE.md`** - Updated SatlocService implementation 3. **`docs/MONITORING_GUIDE.md`** - New monitoring and observability guide ## Testing Considerations ### 1. Mock Data Updates Test mocks need to use the SatLoc response format: ```javascript // OLD format const mockResponse = { jobId: 'test_123', status: 'uploaded' }; // NEW SatLoc format const mockResponse = { IsSuccess: true, ErrorMessage: null, Result: { JobId: 'test_123', Status: 'Uploaded' } }; ``` ### 2. Authentication Testing Test authentication flow with email/password instead of token: ```javascript it('should authenticate with email/password', async () => { const mockAuth = { IsSuccess: true, Result: { UserId: 'user_123', CompanyId: 'company_456', Token: 'jwt_token' } }; // Test implementation... }); ``` ## Migration Strategy ### Phase 1: Update Implementation 1. ✅ Update SatlocService class with actual API endpoints 2. ✅ Modify authentication to use query parameters 3. ✅ Update response handling for SatLoc format 4. ✅ Add proper error handling ### Phase 2: Environment & Configuration 1. Update environment variables in deployment 2. Update partner configuration in database 3. Test authentication with real SatLoc credentials ### Phase 3: Testing & Validation 1. Update unit tests with new API format 2. Run integration tests against SatLoc staging environment 3. Validate data conversion and processing ### Phase 4: Deployment 1. Deploy updated code to staging 2. Perform end-to-end testing 3. Deploy to production with monitoring ## Next Steps 1. **Obtain SatLoc Credentials**: Get actual vendor credentials from SatLoc 2. **Test Integration**: Run integration tests against SatLoc staging API 3. **Data Format Analysis**: Analyze actual flight log data format for parsing 4. **Performance Testing**: Validate rate limits and response times 5. **Monitoring Setup**: Implement monitoring based on updated specifications ## Notes - The SatLoc API uses a different authentication pattern than initially assumed - All APIs require userId and companyId parameters obtained from authentication - Job upload requires multipart form data instead of JSON - Flight data is retrieved through aircraft logs rather than direct job data endpoints - Error responses include both IsSuccess flag and ErrorMessage field This updated integration provides a more accurate implementation based on the actual SatLoc API specifications rather than generic assumptions.
