πŸš€ Quick Start

Option 1: Docker Deployment (Recommended)

# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/sunnynguyen-ai/fraud-detection-system.git
cd fraud-detection-system

# Start all services
docker-compose up -d

# Access applications
# 🌐 API Documentation: http://localhost:8000/docs
# πŸ“Š Dashboard: http://localhost:8501
# ❀️ Health Check: http://localhost:8000/health

Option 2: Local Development

# Setup environment
python -m venv fraud_env
source fraud_env/bin/activate  # On Windows: fraud_env\Scripts\activate

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Train models
python src/data_processing/generate_data.py
jupyter notebook notebooks/02_model_development.ipynb

# Start API
uvicorn src.api.fraud_api:app --reload

# Start dashboard (new terminal)
streamlit run src/monitoring/dashboard.py

πŸ” API Usage Examples

Single Transaction Prediction

import requests

transaction = {
    "Time": 12345,
    "Amount": 149.62,
    "V1": -1.359807, "V2": -0.072781, # ... V3-V20
    "transaction_id": "TXN_001"
}

response = requests.post("http://localhost:8000/predict", json=transaction)
result = response.json()

print(f"Fraud Probability: {result['fraud_probability']:.1%}")
print(f"Risk Level: {result['risk_level']}")

Batch Processing

batch_request = {
    "transactions": [transaction1, transaction2, ...]  # Up to 1000
}

response = requests.post("http://localhost:8000/predict/batch", json=batch_request)
results = response.json()
