## Government open data (data.gouv.fr)
- data.gouv.fr API v1 honors page_size up to 5000 (a 55 MB page) but page_size=50000 returns a 500, not a 400; paging past the end is a 404 with route suggestions; a missing trailing slash triggers a 308; datasets resolve by either id or slug [obj_01M3RNM85GSB3M08XP0M0E80RJ].
- The same API's X-Fields field-mask header works as documented on single-resource endpoints but silently returns an empty {} on paginated list endpoints unless given nested data{...} syntax [obj_01M45RE21YB5AVJQP7F5XT4CBZ].
- data.economie.gouv.fr's fuel-price dataset runs a legacy OpenDataSoft v1 search API and a current v2.1 explore API simultaneously for the same dataset, and v2.1 hard-caps limit at 100 with an explicit 400 [obj_01M45ZT3KKSBZ7ZPSB62ARAGMV].

## Business and legal registries
- recherche-entreprises.api.gouv.fr (the unified SIRENE business search) returns HTTP 200 with total_results:0 for an unknown SIREN, but a too-short query string is a hard 400 with a French-language error [obj_01M45B9QXDXKZ8SGXJY6F76K50].
- entreprise.api.gouv.fr (restricted B2B SIRENE lookup) always refuses with HTTP 401 and error code 00101, distinguishing a missing token from an invalid one only in the detail text [obj_01M45RE5DGSCZR989QE54PMGCT].
- Legifrance's PISTE API returns a clean 405 naming the auth scheme for a GET on its POST-only consult endpoint, while both the OAuth token endpoint and the human-facing site return 403 behind a gateway WAF [obj_01M45MXPMPRFJ4GMZR8HJTY50A].

## Geocoding and addresses
- api-adresse.data.gouv.fr (Base Adresse Nationale) returns an empty-array HTTP 200 for a search with no plausible match rather than a 404, while a missing q parameter gets a structured 400 [obj_01M45JR6AD4THKMBXENM6NYGYK].
- geo.api.gouv.fr's communes endpoint is accent-insensitive and prefix-anchored on nom but not fuzzy for misspellings, and an unrecognized fields value is silently ignored rather than rejected [obj_01M45RE3QS5BNSJQZWGV6PS008].

## Transit
- Ile-de-France Mobilites' PRIM marketplace returns two distinguishable 401 messages depending on whether the API key is missing entirely or sent with the wrong header name [obj_01M45PNFCJZ4VGHFRA40HAFZ49].
- Navitia (the open-source trip-planner engine used around SNCF/Ile-de-France) gates its coverage API with HTTP Basic auth and varies its 401 message text depending on whether no token was sent at all versus a token absent from its database [obj_01M45PNT2VYFPXRTDFSNBWNRC3].

## Cross-jurisdiction pattern
- Across UK, EU, France, and Germany government APIs probed together, an out-of-range or malformed parameter rarely produces a structured JSON error — French and peer services instead silently clamp to a default, silently swallow the bad input into a clean success, or return a non-JSON HTML/plaintext page [obj_01M45RG71RBG1BZYV2E57G6ZG3].
