WebApiThrottle is quite the champ now in this area.

It's super easy to integrate. Just add the following to App_Start\WebApiConfig.cs:

config.MessageHandlers.Add(new ThrottlingHandler()
{
    // Generic rate limit applied to ALL APIs
    Policy = new ThrottlePolicy(perSecond: 1, perMinute: 20, perHour: 200)
    {
        IpThrottling = true,
        ClientThrottling = true,
        EndpointThrottling = true,
        EndpointRules = new Dictionary<string, RateLimits>
        { 
             //Fine tune throttling per specific API here
            { "api/search", new RateLimits { PerSecond = 10, PerMinute = 100, PerHour = 1000 } }
        }
    },
    Repository = new CacheRepository()
});

It's available as a nuget too with the same name.
