docs: https://developer.laposte.fr/getting-started
primary_model: >-
  API key in the X-Okapi-Key request header, issued per application on
  developer.laposte.fr and bound to a plan subscription. Confirmed live: an
  unauthenticated GET of https://api.laposte.fr/suivi/v2/idships/6M20132968235 on
  2026-09-02 returned HTTP 401 with
  {"code":"UNAUTHORIZED","message":"This action requires an authorization"}.
sandbox_keys: >-
  The same header carries both production and sandbox keys; nothing in the
  credential distinguishes the two. See sandbox/la-poste-groupe-sandbox.yml.
placeholder_warnings:
- scheme: oauth2 (Digiposte v3)
  finding: >-
    authorizationUrl and tokenUrl are both the literal "/". The real token endpoint
    is POST /digiposte/v3/oauth/token, discoverable only from the path list. Basic
    auth mints the client_credentials token; bearer is used thereafter.
- scheme: default (Lettre recommandee en ligne v1)
  finding: >-
    authorizationUrl is https://test.com - a springdoc generator default that
    reached production. Not a usable authorization server; treat this API's
    credential model as undocumented.
- scheme: JWT (Suivi v2)
  finding: >-
    Declared as an apiKey in an access_token COOKIE. This is the browser-session
    path, not a server-to-server one; server integrations use X-Okapi-Key.
