# GET /me/write-permissions

`GET /me/write-permissions`

Returns the write permissions a user has via the api, given an access token.
 
The Stack Exchange API gives users the ability to create, edit, and delete certain types. This method returns whether the passed user is capable of performing those actions at all, as well as how many times a day they can.
 
This method does not consider the user's current quota (ie. if they've already exhausted it for today) nor any additional restrictions on write access, such as editing deleted comments.
 
This method returns a list of write_permissions.

## Query parameters

- `pagesize` integer

## Other responses

- `400` — bad_parameter – 400 An invalid parameter was passed, this includes even "high level" parameters like key or site.
- `401` — access_token_required – 401 A method that requires an access token (obtained via authentication) was called without one.
- `402` — invalid_access_token – 402 An invalid access token was passed to a method.
- `403` — access_denied – 403 A method which requires certain permissions was called with an access token that lacks those permissions.
- `404` — no_method – 404 An attempt was made to call a method that does not exist. Note, calling methods that expect numeric ids (like /users/{ids}) with non-numeric ids can also result in this error.
- `405` — key_required – 405 A method was called in a manner that requires an application key (generally, with an access token), but no key was passed.
- `406` — access_token_compromised – 406 An access token is no longer believed to be secure, normally because it was used on a non-HTTPS call. The access token will be invalidated if this error is returned.
- `500` — internal_error – 500 An unexpected error occurred in the API. It has been logged, and Stack Exchange developers have been notified. You should report these errors on Stack Apps if you want to be notified when they're fixed.
- `502` — throttle_violation – 502 An application has violated part of the rate limiting contract, so the request was terminated.
- `503` — temporarily_unavailable – 503 Some or all of the API is unavailable. Applications should backoff on requests to the method invoked.
