ApiConfig

ApiConfig gathers the parameters needed to reach the Legifrance API. It is consumed by LegifranceClient.

Fields

Field	Type	Default	Role
`client_id`	`str`	—	PISTE identifier (required)
`client_secret`	`str`	—	PISTE secret (required)
`token_url`	`str`	PISTE prod	OAuth endpoint
`api_url`	`str`	Legifrance prod	REST base URL
`connect_timeout`	`float`	`3.05`	connect timeout (s)
`read_timeout`	`float`	`27.0`	read timeout (s)

Build a config

from pylegifrance.config import ApiConfig

# Manual
config = ApiConfig(client_id="...", client_secret="...")

# From the environment (LEGIFRANCE_CLIENT_ID / _SECRET)
config = ApiConfig.from_env()

from_env() loads .env via python-dotenv; see /en/operations/configure-api-credentials.
