# Save creative

> Saves a creative to your library, like the save button in the app: into `workspace_id`, or your default workspace if that's left out. To put it on a board, use [Add creative to board](/api-reference/add-board-creative).

The save is yours: the key's owner, or through the MCP, the person who connected it.

A new save returns `201` and costs 1 credit. Saving something already saved in that workspace changes nothing, returns `200` with `already_saved: true`, and is free, as are requests that fail. Saves are limited to 30 a minute per person, on top of the usual limits.


> [!NOTE]
>
> **Credits:** 1 credit when it saves the creative. Free when it's already saved in that workspace, or when the request fails.


## OpenAPI

````yaml POST /v1/creatives/{creative_id}/save
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: Adspo API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >
    The Adspo API gives you programmatic access to ad creative data across
    brands.


    ## Authentication


    All endpoints require an API key passed in the `x-api-key` header.


    ```

    x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY

    ```


    ## Rate limits


    - **120 requests per minute** per key. Exceeding this returns `429` with a
    `Retry-After` header. Every response carries `RateLimit-Limit`,
    `RateLimit-Remaining` and `RateLimit-Reset` headers.

    - **Credits per billing period** vary by plan. Each request costs 1 credit
    (`/v1/usage` is free). Exceeding your quota returns `429` with `resets_at`
    indicating when it resets.

    - A key whose account has no active subscription gets `403`.

    - **Changes** have their own per-person limits, across all their keys and
    connections: saving creatives and adding them to boards, 30 a minute;
    creating boards, 10 a minute; following brands and adding them to groups, 30
    a minute. Exceeding these returns `429` with a `Retry-After` header. Each
    costs 1 credit only when it changes something; anything already there is
    free.
