# Fair Usage & API Limits

> Understand PostSyncer API rate limits

# Fair Usage & API Limits

PostSyncer does not limit post creation-posting is unlimited. We operate under a fair usage policy to ensure service quality for all users. The only limit we enforce is on API requests (60 per minute).

## API Rate Limit

To keep our service reliable, the PostSyncer API enforces a rate limit on requests. This is the **only** limit imposed by PostSyncer.

### API Limits

| Limit Window       | Requests Allowed |
| ------------------ | ---------------- |
| **1-minute fixed** | 60 requests      |

**Note:** If you need higher throughput for your integration, please contact our support team.

### Tracking Your Usage

When you approach the rate limit, API responses include these headers so you can monitor your usage:

| Header                  | Description                                                  |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `X-RateLimit-Limit`     | Total requests allowed in the current window                 |
| `X-RateLimit-Remaining` | Requests remaining in the current time window                |
| `X-RateLimit-Reset`     | UNIX timestamp when your window resets (next available slot) |

**Example Response Headers:**

```bash theme={null}
X-RateLimit-Limit: 60
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 0
X-RateLimit-Reset: 1714558492
```

### When You Exceed the API Limit

If you exceed 60 requests per minute, the API returns:

**HTTP Status:** `429 Too Many Requests`

**Response Body:**

```json theme={null}
{
  "message": "Too Many Attempts."
}
```

Headers will show `X-RateLimit-Remaining: 0` and a future `X-RateLimit-Reset`.

## Summary

| What                           | Limit         |
| ------------------------------ | ------------- |
| **API requests**               | 60 per minute |
| **Post creation & publishing** | Unlimited     |

## Requesting Higher API Limits
