# Upload a media attachment

> **Rate limit:** 60 requests per 60 seconds. This is the **default shared quota** — it is shared with every other endpoint that has no dedicated limit, so requests across those endpoints all draw from the same budget.

---

Two-step media upload: clients first upload a file here to receive an Attachment object, then pass its url in a POST /feeds/post or POST /reactions/.../comment payload. Accepts multipart/form-data with a binary file field. Supported formats: JPEG and PNG. Maximum file size: 8 MB (8,388,608 bytes). The returned url is a plain CDN URL scoped to the uploading user.

    please refer to the dedicated [WebSocket
    documentation](./websocket/websocket-doc.html).


    ## Authentication


    Every request must be authenticated with exactly one of two options: an
    OAuth 2.0 access token (`Authorization: Bearer <token>`), or the
    non-interactive credential pair (`x-api-key` + `x-user-key` headers). The
    two options are mutually exclusive — a request carrying both is rejected.
    Each operation lists the OAuth scopes that grant access as alternative
    security requirements: a bearer token needs only ONE of them, and the same
    permissions govern the credential pair.
