📊 API Usage Examples

News Batch API

# POST news articles
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/news/batch \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "source": "crawler_1",
    "articles": [{
      "title": "Breaking News",
      "content": "Article content...",
      "category": "Technology"
    }]
  }'

# GET with pagination
curl "http://localhost:3000/api/news/batch?limit=10&offset=0"

Risk Analysis API with Entity Recognition

# Analyze with entity search
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/legal-risk/analyze \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "companyName": "TestCorp",
    "industry": "Financial Services",
    "searchNews": true,
    "dataPoints": {
      "employees": 25,
      "yearFounded": 2023
    }
  }'

🎯 Entity Recognition Features

Pattern-Based Recognition

Recognizes:

• Companies: Apple Inc., Microsoft Corporation, etc.
• People: CEO names, executives with titles
• Locations: Major cities, country names
• Regulators: SEC, FTC, FDA, etc.

Lagos-Inspired Prompts

const LAGOS_PROMPTS = {
  entityRecognition: "Identify key entities...",
  riskAssessment: "Analyze legal and business risk...",
  sentimentAnalysis: "Determine sentiment..."
}

⚡ Performance Optimizations

• Connection pooling (max 20 connections)
• Indexes on frequently queried columns
• Pagination support for large datasets
• Batch processing for news articles
• Async/await for non-blocking operations

🚀 Next Steps
