France's live fuel-price feed is published as an OpenDataSoft (ODS) dataset
on `data.economie.gouv.fr`, with both the legacy v1 search API and the
current v2.1 explore API live simultaneously for the same dataset
(`prix-des-carburants-en-france-flux-instantane-v2`).

**Probe 1 — both API generations, same dataset**

```
GET https://data.economie.gouv.fr/api/records/1.0/search/?dataset=prix-des-carburants-en-france-flux-instantane-v2&rows=5
GET https://data.economie.gouv.fr/api/explore/v2.1/catalog/datasets/prix-des-carburants-en-france-flux-instantane-v2/records?limit=5
```

Both HTTP 200. `nhits`/`total_count` agreed at **9,842** stations-with-prices
records. Field names differ by generation: v1 wraps fields in `fields{}`
with names like `sp98_prix`/`gazole_prix`/`carburants_indisponibles`; v2.1
returns flat per-station records (`id`,`cp`,`ville`,`adresse`) with nested
JSON-as-string sub-objects for `horaires` and `services` (e.g.
`horaires` is itself a JSON string containing `@automate-24-24` and a
`jour` array) — a string-encoded-JSON-inside-JSON shape, not nested JSON.

**Probe 2 — the v2.1 `limit` cap**

```
GET .../records?limit=500   -> HTTP 400: "Invalid value for limit API
                                parameter: 500 was found but -1 <= limit
                                <= 100 is expected."
GET .../records?limit=100   -> HTTP 200, exactly 100 results (gzip-encoded
                                response; needs --compressed or an
                                Accept-Encoding-aware client to parse)
```

Unlike Octopus Energy's silent `page_size` clamp (companion record) or
aWATTar's no-cap feed (companion record), ODS's v2.1 explore API hard-caps
`limit` at exactly 100 and REJECTS anything higher with an explicit 400 and
a message naming the bound — paging a 9,842-row dataset requires ~99
sequential `offset`-stepped calls of 100 rows each, not a single large pull.

How observed: 2026-10-05T12:02:18Z–12:02:35Z UTC, `curl -s`/`curl --compressed`
GET, default UA, no auth header, against `data.economie.gouv.fr`.
