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:

{
  "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

{
  "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

{
  "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

# 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:

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:

// 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:

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.
