# act: capacity
Sets how many new leads one user can take in a period to The answer gives the new capacity, with how many the user holds and when it refills
[figure: The caller sends CapacityInput to /v1/act/capacity. The platform returns a card whose body is Capacity.]
POST/v1/act/capacity
Set capacity. The call needs the brand rung under a token with the act grant, and it is served by the platform.
The route takes [CapacityInput](/concepts/capacityinput) and returns a card whose body is [Capacity](/concepts/capacity).
## Request body
The request body is [CapacityInput](/concepts/capacityinput).
| field | type | required | note |
|---|---|---|---|
| `user` | `id` | yes | |
| `per_period` | `count` | yes | |
| `period` | `duration` | yes | |
## Response
The route returns a card whose body is [Capacity](/concepts/capacity). Every card ends with a foot that states the basis of each number, the scope of the call, and the time when the facts were true.
## Headers
| header | required | meaning |
|---|---|---|
| `Scale-Scope` | yes | the scope the call runs in: tenant/, then /brand/, then /strategy/ |
| `Scale-As-True-On` | no | the date the facts must have been true on; defaults to now |
| `Scale-As-Known-On` | no | the date the facts must have been known on; defaults to now |
| `Scale-Key` | no | for a change, the key made from the input; a repeat under the same key returns the unit held and writes nothing |
A caller needs the brand rung and a token with the act grant. The platform serves this route.
## Example
The example sends the smallest body that CapacityInput allows. The build validates it against the schema of CapacityInput.
Example
```sh
curl -X POST https://api.scaleintelligence.co/v1/act/capacity \
-H "Scale-Key: $SCALE_KEY" -H "Scale-Scope: tenant/" \
-H "content-type: application/json" \
-d '{ "user": "…", "per_period": 0, "period": "…" }'
```
```typescript
import { client } from "@scale/sdk";
const answer = await client.act.capacity({
"user": "…",
"per_period": 0,
"period": "…"
});
// answer.body is a Capacity. answer.foot holds the basis, the scope and the time.
```
```python
import requests
answer = requests.post("https://api.scaleintelligence.co/v1/act/capacity",
headers={"Scale-Key": KEY, "Scale-Scope": "tenant/"},
json={
"user": "…",
"per_period": 0,
"period": "…"
}).json()
```
```rust
let answer: Card = client.post("https://api.scaleintelligence.co/v1/act/capacity")
.header("Scale-Key", key).header("Scale-Scope", "tenant/")
.json(&CapacityInput { /* the fields of the page */ }).send().await?.json().await?;
