description: Rate limiting considerations for the La Poste LReL (Lettre Recommandee en Ligne) API on the Okapi platform.
rateLimits:
  - name: Okapi Platform Quota
    description: Like other Okapi-hosted APIs, the LReL API may be subject to the platform-level quota of 100 calls per minute per application key. HTTP 429 is returned when the limit is exceeded.
    limit: 100
    period: minute
    scope: application key (OAuth2 token)
    errorCode: 429
    errorMessage: max quota reached 100 calls per minute
notes:
  - The LReL API uses OAuth2 authentication rather than a plain X-Okapi-Key.
  - Rate limits are primarily constrained by business volume agreements since each call results in a physical letter being produced and dispatched.
