/api/v1/messaging/spaces/{spaceId}/channelsmessaging: read_write1,000 requests/minute/key · all plansActive API keys: Free 1, Pro 5, Pro+ 5. The request rate is the same on every plan.
Message storage
Message text is encrypted at rest and decrypted for authorised requests. Channel access is restricted to spaces owned by the API key’s account; missing or inaccessible channels return 404. Editing or deleting a message additionally checks its author and can return 403.
Space icon uploads
GIF space icons require Pro. Uploads must belong to the account and remain within its file-upload allowance. Other icon formats do not require a paid plan solely because this is a messaging endpoint.
