👶 Stuntify API: Intelligent Inference Engine

⚠️ IMPORTANT CLINICAL DISCLAIMER: The underlying machine learning model is trained entirely on synthetic, machine-generated data, not real-world patient records. This application is built as a proof-of-concept for educational and portfolio demonstration purposes only. It should NOT be used for actual medical diagnosis, screening, or clinical decision-making. Always consult a certified healthcare professional for medical advice.

📌 Overview

Stuntify API is the high-performance backend engine designed to power the Stuntify ecosystem.

Built with FastAPI, this service provides real-time stunting risk assessment with minimal latency. Unlike traditional scripts, this API implements a rigorous MLOps Inference Pipeline that strictly validates data types via Pydantic and orchestrates multiple serialized artifacts to ensure production-grade reliability.

✨ Key Features

🧠 Multi-Artifact Orchestration

The system acts as a centralized inference unit. It reconstructs the exact mathematical environment used during training by synchronizing 4 key artifacts:

• Gender Encoder: Translates categories (Laki-laki) into machine vectors.
• Standard Scaler: Normalizes anthropometric data (Age, Height, Weight) to the model's expected distribution.
• Classifier Model: The optimized machine learning model (.joblib).
• Target Decoder: Translates the mathematical prediction back to human-readable labels (e.g., Severely Stunted).

🛡️ Defensive Architecture (FastAPI & Pydantic)

• Strict Schema Validation: Uses Pydantic Models to enforce data integrity. If a user sends a string for age instead of an integer, the API rejects it immediately with a clear error message.
• Smart Error Handling: Global exception handlers ensure the server never crashes on bad inputs, returning meaningful HTTP 400/500 codes.
• CORS Enabled: Fully configured to serve requests from any frontend (React, Vue, Mobile) without cross-origin issues.

📖 Automatic Interactive Documentation

Because it is built on FastAPI, Stuntify provides free, interactive documentation (Swagger UI) out of the box. Developers can test endpoints directly in the browser without writing a single line of code.

🛠️ Tech Stack

• Framework: FastAPI (Asynchronous & High Performance)
• Validation: Pydantic
• Computation: NumPy, Scikit-Learn, Joblib
• Deployment: Hugging Face Spaces (Dockerized)

🚀 The Inference Pipeline

1. Ingestion: API receives JSON payload -> ConditionInput Pydantic Model.
2. Validation: Data types and required fields are verified.
3. Loading: Global artifacts are loaded into memory (Lazy Loading pattern).
4. Preprocessing:
   • Gender string -> Encoded Integer.
   • Numerics (Age/Height/Weight) -> Scaled Floats.
5. Prediction: The model generates a class index.
6. Decoding: Index -> String Label (e.g., "Normal").
