description: Rate limiting policies for the La Poste Suivi v2 API on the Okapi platform.
rateLimits:
  - name: Free Tier Per-Minute Quota
    description: The Okapi platform enforces a quota to protect APIs from high-volume abuse. When the limit is reached the platform returns HTTP 429 with the message "max quota reached 100 calls per minute". The limit resets at the start of the next minute.
    limit: 100
    period: minute
    scope: application key (X-Okapi-Key)
    header: X-Okapi-Key
    errorCode: 429
    errorMessage: max quota reached 100 calls per minute
  - name: Business / Contracted Quota
    description: Higher per-minute and daily quotas are available under a paid or negotiated business plan. Specific thresholds are defined in the service contract and listed on the API catalog page.
    limit: custom
    period: custom
    scope: application key
notes:
  - Rate limits are enforced per application key, not per IP address.
  - Sandbox environment calls may have different (typically lower) limits.
  - La Poste recommends monitoring the real-time dashboard in the Okapi portal to track consumption against quotas.
