# Social media posting data: limits, media, costs

Tables of posting limits, counting rules, media specs, daily caps and X API prices, each sourced and dated, free to quote.

Five tables built from the same data the 1Post composer uses: text limits, how each network counts characters, media rules, daily posting caps and X API prices. Each cites the network's own page where we read one, with the date, and is free to quote with a link back.

Tables update when a network changes a rule. The date on each page shows the last change.

## Tables

- [Social media posting limits by network](https://get1post.com/data/posting-limits.md): Text limits, counting rules and daily posting caps for every network 1Post publishes to, in one table, with sources and read dates.
- [How each network counts characters](https://get1post.com/data/text-counting-rules.md): The counting rule behind each network's text limit: X weights links and emoji, Bluesky counts what a reader sees, Threads counts emoji bytes.
- [Image and video rules by network](https://get1post.com/data/media-specs.md): Images and videos per post, formats, sizes, shapes and video lengths 1Post checks for every network, with what Threads and Instagram publish.
- [Daily posting caps by network](https://get1post.com/data/daily-posting-caps.md): How many posts a day 1Post publishes per connected account on each network, beside the ceilings Instagram, TikTok, Tumblr and X publish.
- [X API prices and posting limits](https://get1post.com/data/x-api-costs.md): What X charges to create a post through its API, with and without a link, and the limits on creating posts, from X's own pages.

## Questions

**Can I quote these tables?**

Yes, with a link to the page.

**How do you keep them current?**

We re-read the network pages and update the table and the date together.
