# API Documentation
## Rate limit
To prevent abuse of the API an IP-based HTTP rate limit is in place, a maximum of 300 requests in a 5 minutes time window are allowed, every response will include the current status of the rate limit with the following headers:
- `x-ratelimit-limit` maximum number of requests allowed per time period (fixed)
- `x-ratelimit-remaining` number of remaining requests that can still be performed
- `x-ratelimit-reset` unix timestamp when the rate limit will reset
In case the rate limit is exceeded an HTTP 429 error is returned to the caller.
GoToSocial uses [go-swagger](https://github.com/go-swagger/go-swagger) to generate a V2 [OpenAPI specification](https://swagger.io/specification/v2/) document from code annotations.
The resulting API documentation is rendered below, for quick reference.
