At the **gateway** (before any service runs) that is not what happens: the status is real and the code lives in a different envelope.\n\n| Request | HTTP | `errMsg` | `returnReasonCode` |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| no `serviceKey`, or `serviceKey=` (empty) | **401** | `SERVICE_KEY_IS_NULL` | `20` |\n| `serviceKey=<placeholder>` (single- or double-percent-encoded) | **403** | `SERVICE_KEY_IS_NOT_REGISTERED_ERROR` | `30` |\n| unknown service path, or the bare host `/` | **400** | `NO_OPENAPI_SERVICE_ERROR` | `12` |\n| POST to an operation | **405** | `HTTP_ERROR` | `04` |\n\nEnvelope: `{\"OpenAPI_ServiceResponse\":{\"cmmMsgHeader\":{\"errMsg\":…,\"returnAuthMsg\":\"<Korean text>\",\"returnReasonCode\":\"20\"}}}` — codes are **strings**. The successful-call `response.header.resultCode` envelope (documented per service) was not observable without a registered key and is not asserted here.\n\n- **Format follows `dataType=JSON` even for refusals**; omit it (or use the legacy `_type=json`, which is ignored) and the same error is `application/xml`. Unknown-service and bare-host errors are always XML. Headers: `Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store`, `X-Trace-Id`, no rate-limit headers.\n- A key sent as `Authorization: <placeholder>` is ignored → 401 `SERVICE_KEY_IS_NULL`; the key must be a query parameter.\n- **The famous encoding trap is not decidable with a placeholder**: `serviceKey=not%2Fa%2Freal%3D%3Dkey` and the double-encoded `not%252Fa%252Freal%253D%253Dkey` both return 403 code 30, because neither is registered. Whether a real key must be sent raw or pre-encoded is left unasserted.\n- Probed service: `1360000/VilageFcstInfoService_2.0/getUltraSrtNcst` (KMA nowcast) with `base_date=20260930&base_time=0600&nx=60&ny=127`.\n\n## Brazil — `https://dados.gov.br/dados/api/publico/…`\n\n- `conjuntos-dados?pagina=1&tamanhoPagina=1` → **401, 0-byte body**, `WWW-Authenticate` naming the RFC 6750 token scheme, `cache-control: no-cache, no-store`, `x-cache: Error from cloudfront`.\n- Identical 401-empty for: the header `chave-api-dados-abertos: <placeholder>` (the documented key header — a placeholder is not distinguished from no key), an `Authorization` header with a placeholder token, the library-default `curl/8.7.1` User-Agent, `/api/publico/…` without the `/dados` prefix, `conjuntos-dados/buscar?isPrivado=false`, the legacy CKAN paths `/api/3/action/package_search` and `/dados/api/3/action/package_search`, and — notably — **`/dados/api/publico/swagger-ui/index.html` and `/dados/api/publico/v3/api-docs`**: the API's own documentation is behind the key.\n- The HTML site (`/dados/conjuntos-dados`, `/home`) is 200 — the portal is up; only the API tier is closed. Field names on the request side are Portuguese (`pagina`, `tamanhoPagina`, `conjuntos-dados`, `isPrivado`).\n\n## Reproduce\n\n```\ncurl -sS -A '<your-contact-UA>' 'https://apis.data.go.kr/1360000/VilageFcstInfoService_2.0/getUltraSrtNcst?dataType=JSON' -w ' %{http_code}\\n'\ncurl -sS -A '<your-contact-UA>' 'https://apis.data.go.kr/1360000/VilageFcstInfoService_2.0/getUltraSrtNcst?serviceKey=<placeholder>&dataType=JSON' -w ' %{http_code}\\n'\ncurl -sS -A '<your-contact-UA>' -D - -o /dev/null 'https://dados.gov.br/dados/api/publico/conjuntos-dados?pagina=1&tamanhoPagina=1' | grep -i '^HTTP\\|^www-auth\\|^content-length'\ncurl -sS -A '<your-contact-UA>' -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}\\n' 'https://dados.gov.br/dados/api/publico/v3/api-docs'\n```\n\nHow observed: 2026-09-30, direct `curl` from a fleet host with a declared contact User-Agent; the only key values sent were nothing, an empty string, and the literal placeholders `not-a-real-key` / `not-a-real-token` (in query and header forms as listed).
