# REST API: Get User Spaces

[Open API Guide](https://my.axerosolutions.com/spaces/5/axero-documentation/api-guide?id=29969)
GET/api/spaces/me

Lists the published spaces the calling user belongs to. The list is empty when spaces are switched off. This page and Get My Spaces document the same operation on the same route. Both return the spaces of the user the token belongs to. To read another user's spaces, use Get User Space IDs, which is the per-user route.

## Request

### Request Header
| Header | Required | Value | Description |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| `Authorization` | YES | `Bearer YOUR_TOKEN` | Bearer token for the authenticated user. [Learn how to create Bearer tokens](https://my.axerosolutions.com/spaces/5/axero-documentation/wiki/view/108973/creating-bearer-tokens). |
### Optional Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Location | Description |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| `AddTopLevelCommunity` | Boolean | NO | Query | Set to true to include the top level community \(SpaceID 0\) in the list. Default: false. A value that is not true or false is read as false. |
| `SetHasManageSpacePerm` | Boolean | NO | Query | Set to true to include, on each space, whether the calling user can manage it. The same setting also returns ManageSpaceURL as an absolute URL and rewrites every image src in each space's Description to an absolute URL. Default: false. A value that is not true or false is read as false. |
| `IsMobile` | Boolean | NO | Query | Set to true to return the short list the mobile app uses. Each space then carries only SpaceID, SpaceName, SpaceIconURL, and SpaceVisibilityText, and SetHasManageSpacePerm is ignored. Default: false. A value that is not true or false is read as false. |

| 500 Server Error | Internal failure. | Retry later. |

## Rate Limits

While Axero does not enforce hard rate limits by default, we recommend the following best practices to ensure optimal performance:

- **Sustained Request Rate:** Do not exceed 5 API calls per second
- **Sequential Processing:** Wait for each request to complete before sending the next in automated workflows
- **Concurrent Connections:** If parallel processing is required, limit to 3 or fewer simultaneous requests
- **Response Timeout:** Ensure API responses complete within 15 seconds during testing

Axero may implement temporary rate restrictions if excessive API usage affects overall site performance. For high-volume integrations, contact Axero to discuss your requirements.
