# Progress capturing <Badge type="tip" text="New" />
Axios supports both browser and node environments to capture request upload/download progress. The frequency of progress events is forced to be limited to 3 times per second. This is to prevent the browser from being overwhelmed with progress events. An example of capturing progress events is shown below:
```js
await axios.post(url, data, {
onUploadProgress: function (axiosProgressEvent) {
/*{
loaded: number;
total?: number;
progress?: number; // in range [0..1]
bytes: number; // how many bytes have been transferred since the last trigger (delta)
estimated?: number; // estimated time in seconds
rate?: number; // upload speed in bytes
upload: true; // upload sign
}*/
},
onDownloadProgress: function (axiosProgressEvent) {
/*{
loaded: number;
total?: number;
progress?: number;
bytes: number;
estimated?: number;
rate?: number; // download speed in bytes
download: true; // download sign
}*/
},
});
```
You can also stream the upload and download progress events to a readable stream in Node.js. This is useful when you want to display the progress in a custom way. An example of streaming progress events is shown below:
```js
const { data } = await axios.post(SERVER_URL, readableStream, {
onUploadProgress: ({ progress }) => {
console.log((progress * 100).toFixed(2));
},
headers: {
"Content-Length": contentLength,
},
maxRedirects: 0, // avoid buffering the entire stream
});
```
::: warning
Capturing FormData upload progress is not currently supported in node.js environments
:::
::: danger
It is recommended to disable redirects by setting maxRedirects: 0 to upload the stream in the node.js environment, as the follow-redirects package will buffer the entire stream in RAM without following the "backpressure" algorithm
