## KakaoTalk Channel / AlimTalk (Kakao Business)

- `storage/kakaotalk-channel-alimtalk` | fails-quota | evidence reported | binding none | category messaging
- identity a placeholder: card and phone unknown | verified 2026-10-21 (inherited) | stale on 2026-11-05
- url https://developers.kakao.com/docs/latest/en/kakaotalk-channel/common
- free tier: No storage quota. Kakao's message API takes an IMAGE URL that you host yourself; it does not accept a binary upload and store it for you. | unit: mixed | metered on: stored-bytes | read on: 2026-10-21 | source: [1]
- per-object cap: not stated | source: [1] | note: not stated
- retention: not stated | source: [1] | note: not stated
- egress: N/A — there is no Kakao-hosted media to egress. The direction is the opposite of what this project needs: Kakao asks YOU for a public URL. | metered: no
- identity: institution
- interface: rest
- limits note: Image is passed as a URL reference with Kakao's own size/format constraints on the linked asset; no upload endpoint, no media_id, no retention to speak of.
- interface detail: rest
- tooling: kakao-business SDKs / raw REST; channel management APIs. Nothing that stores blobs.
- composes with: Not chainable — it is a message-delivery API, not an object store. Being a URL consumer rather than a URL producer makes it structurally useless here.
- reliability: No data-vanishing risk because no data is stored. Also no storage — an anti-candidate.
- notes: the same as the free tier
- extras:
  - dead_end.failure_class: quota
  - dead_end.why: No storage quota. Kakao's message API takes an IMAGE URL that you host yourself; it does not accept a binary upload and store it for you.
  - dead_end.first_recorded: 2026-10-21
- evidence:
  - [1] 2026-10-21: read live: the channel docs cover friend groups/targeting; media is supplied as an external URL, no upload-and-store endpoint appears anywhere in the API surface
