Common Patterns Across All Clients

1. Error Handling Pattern

async fn fetch_with_retry(&self, url: &str) -> Result<reqwest::Response> {
    let mut retries = 0;
    loop {
        match self.client.get(url).send().await {
            Ok(response) => {
                if response.status() == StatusCode::TOO_MANY_REQUESTS
                   && retries < MAX_RETRIES {
                    retries += 1;
                    sleep(Duration::from_millis(RETRY_DELAY_MS * retries as u64)).await;
                    continue;
                }
                return Ok(response);
            }
            Err(_) if retries < MAX_RETRIES => {
                retries += 1;
                sleep(Duration::from_millis(RETRY_DELAY_MS * retries as u64)).await;
            }
            Err(e) => return Err(FrameworkError::Network(e)),
        }
    }
}

Constants:

  • MAX_RETRIES: u32 = 3
  • RETRY_DELAY_MS: u64 = 1000
  • Exponential backoff: delay * retries

2. Rate Limiting Pattern

// Before each API call
sleep(self.rate_limit_delay).await;
let response = self.fetch_with_retry(&url).await?;

3. Embedding Pattern

// SimpleEmbedder - deterministic hash-based embeddings
embedder: Arc<SimpleEmbedder> = Arc::new(SimpleEmbedder::new(dimension));

// Dimensions by domain:
// - 256: Most clients (news, social, research)
// - 384: Medical/scientific (PubMed, ClinicalTrials, FDA)
// - Configurable per client based on text complexity

4. Metadata Pattern

let mut metadata = HashMap::new();
metadata.insert("source".to_string(), "client_name".to_string());
metadata.insert("id".to_string(), record_id);
// Domain-specific fields

Common Metadata Fields:

  • source - Client identifier
  • title - Record title
  • url - Source URL
  • timestamp - Publication/update date
  • Domain-specific fields (authors, categories, scores, etc.)

Usage Recommendations

1. Rate Limit Compliance

  • Always use provided rate limit delays
  • Consider API key registration for higher limits
  • Batch requests when possible (e.g., PubMed: 200 PMIDs/request)

2. Error Handling

  • All clients implement retry logic with exponential backoff
  • Handle FrameworkError::Network for connectivity issues
  • Check for empty results (some APIs return 404 for no matches)

3. Authentication

  • Store API keys in environment variables
  • Use optional auth when available for better rate limits
  • OAuth2 clients (Reddit, EPO) require credential management

4. Performance Optimization

  • Use parallel requests for independent queries
  • Leverage batch endpoints (PubMed abstracts, etc.)
  • Cache results when appropriate
  • Consider semantic search with embeddings vs. full-text search

5. Domain-Specific Considerations

  • Medical: Higher embedding dimensions (384) for richer semantics
  • Research: Check multiple sources (ArXiv + Semantic Scholar + CrossRef)
  • Economic: Time-series data requires date range management
  • Genomics: Species-specific searches (Ensembl supports 100+ species)
  • Physics: Geographic searches use Haversine distance calculations

Integration Example

use ruvector_data_framework::*;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<()> {
    // Initialize multiple clients
    let arxiv = ArxivClient::new()?;
    let s2 = SemanticScholarClient::new(Some("API_KEY".to_string()))?;
    let pubmed = PubMedClient::new(Some("NCBI_KEY".to_string()))?;

    // Parallel search across domains
    let query = "machine learning healthcare";

    let (arxiv_results, s2_results, pubmed_results) = tokio::join!(
        arxiv.search(query, 50),
        s2.search_papers(query, 50),
        pubmed.search_articles(query, 50)
    );

    // Combine vectors
    let mut all_vectors = Vec::new();
    all_vectors.extend(arxiv_results?);
    all_vectors.extend(s2_results?);
    all_vectors.extend(pubmed_results?);

    // Store in RuVector for semantic search
    // ... vector storage code ...

    Ok(())
}

Future Enhancements

  1. Dynamic Rate Limiting: Adjust based on response headers
  2. Circuit Breakers: Fail-fast on repeated errors
  3. Response Caching: Redis/disk cache for repeated queries
  4. Streaming APIs: Support for SSE/WebSocket endpoints
  5. Advanced Embeddings: Integration with transformer models
  6. Relationship Graphs: Enhanced Wikipedia/Wikidata graph traversal
  7. Multi-language Support: Expand beyond English for international sources
  8. Specialized Domains: Climate, energy, agriculture data sources
