Big Bre Reconstitution
RTE documentation
The RTE documentation is available here.
What this API collects
Reconstitution curves of a balance responsible entity: estimated and remotely read consumption and production, losses, calibration coefficients and balances.
RTE changed this API when the imbalance settlement period moved to 15 minutes. Insights handles both generations and picks the right one per day of data, using 2025-01-01 as the pivot.
Important
The two generations do not expose the same data types, and they do not return the same resolution. A recovery that reaches back across 2025-01-01 therefore produces both sets of keys in a single run.

Note
The codes above are the ones Insights requests and matches, exactly as written. The wording of the five data types introduced with the 15 minute settlement period follows RTE's own naming — refer to the RTE user guide for their formal definitions.
Warning
C12E, C13E and C14E exist only before the pivot, and the six data types below C05 in the second
table exist only from the pivot onwards. Configuring a C14E variable for 2025 data collects nothing.

Examples
BIG-BRE-RECONSTITUTION_C01_P1M_NA_PT30M_MW
BIG-BRE-RECONSTITUTION_C14E_P6M_17XDSO0000000123_PT30M_MW
BIG-BRE-RECONSTITUTION_RES-RE_P1M_NA_PT15M_MW
Collection schedule
Once a day, at 07:30 UTC.
Recovery behaviour
Gap filling over the last 31 days: a day is queried only when one of the BIG-BRE-RECONSTITUTION_* variables
has no data for it.
Perimeter check
This API does not check the referential before calling RTE. A point outside the perimeter returns an empty response rather than a skip in the log. Use Id Referential to confirm eligibility when a source stays empty.
