What's the actual API size?

I see that the response size is 305.09KB, but my server can handle up to 1MB. There’s a field that’s uncompressed 1.8KB, so I’m not sure if that’s the actual API size. If so then does Postman apply any compression internally ? Is that why the visible response size is 305.09KB?

Postman doesn’t compress responses on its own — the smaller size you see is because your server sent a compressed response, and Postman displays that compressed size in the results.

Alright ! Thanks for letting me know.
