  title: Gabin API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >-
    French company and real-estate data for builders: companies (SIRENE, RNE),
    establishments, officers, annual accounts, buildings (BDNB), parcels,
    addresses, zones, multi-criteria search, vector tiles, reference data.
    Guides: https://docs.gabin.ai.


    **Authentication.** Every endpoint except `/v1/health` and
    `/v1/openapi.json` requires `Authorization: Bearer <key>`: an API key
    (`gab_live_…`, created at https://gabin.ai/compte/api) or an OAuth access
    token (`gat_…`, MCP connectors).


    **Limits (free plan).** 60 weighted requests per minute and 5,000 units per
    UTC day per account. A request weighs 1 unless its endpoint states
    otherwise. Every response carries `X-RateLimit-Limit`,
    `X-RateLimit-Remaining`, `X-RateLimit-Reset`, `X-Quota-Remaining` and
    `X-Request-Id`.


    **Responses.** Success: `{ "data": …, "meta": { … } }`. Lists are paginated
    by an opaque cursor (`meta.page.next_cursor`, up to 100 per page and 10,000
    results per query). Errors: `{ "error": { "code", "message", "docs_url" }
    }`. Dates are ISO 8601, amounts in euros, areas in m², coordinates WGS84
    `[lon, lat]`.


    **Data rules.** Companies under SIRENE partial diffusion are returned
    without the person's name, street address, position or building. Officers
    come from public registers only (name, first names, month and year of birth,
    mandates), without contact details. No contact data is exposed.
