# Get the active boost

`GET /boost`

Returns the active boost (type, value, remaining, started), or an empty object when no boost is active. The idle 200+{} response doubles as the capability probe: older firmware has no clean 404 for this path, so clients should treat any non-200-JSON response as unsupported rather than relying on a 404.

## Response `200`

Active boost, or {} when idle

- object
  - `type` 'time' | 'energy' | 'soc' | 'range'
  - `value` integer — time: seconds (NOT minutes, unlike /limit); energy: Wh added since activation; soc: absolute percent; range: absolute distance
  - `remaining` integer — Remaining amount in the dimension's unit (ceil)
  - `started` string, date-time
