rate-limiting

Say within an API bundle, we have 3 different flows (e.g., flow A, flow B, and flow C), and they all reference the same Quota policy named QuotaLimitPolicy. Are they really using separate counters for a given Identifier? Flow A is executed -> QuotaLimitPolicy is executed. Result: "A counter" = 1 Flow B is executed -> QuotaLimitPolicy is executed. Result: "B counter" = 1 Flow A is executed -> QuotaLimitPolicy is executed. Result: "A counter" = 1 +1 = 2 Flow C is executed -> QuotaLimitPolicy is executed. Result: "C counter" = 1 Flow A is executed -> QuotaLimitPolicy is executed. Result: "A

Someone made me aware of some flaws in an application I'm working on (mostly within my JavaScript on the front-end), that leaves open the possibility of, say, clicking a ton of buttons at once and sending out a ton of transactional emails. This is clearly not good. I think one way to handle this in ExpressJS is by using app.all() to count the number of requests that happen within a certain timeframe. I'd store this in the session metadata with timestamps, and if more than X requests happen in Y time, I cut them off for awhile until the limit expires. Has anyone done this before or have any

There's a real nice library WebApiThrottle for API rate limiting in Web API. As mentioned on the Wiki page, I can rate limit the API based on the authorization token header of API call. But, how can I block the api call for the next 5 minutes if this api rate limit exceeds? Also, not that any request within next 5 minutes will reset the rate limiting exceeded time. I checked the code but couldn't find this feature. Any other way if someone can suggest? For the time being, I'm using this fork of WebApiThrottle and adding the dll manually to the solution. @adamriyadi has implemented this feature

I'm writing a small script in Python 2.7.3 with GRequests and lxml that will allow me to gather some collectible card prices from various websites and compare them. Problem is one of the websites limits the number of requests and sends back HTTP error 429 if I exceed it. Is there a way to add throttling the number of requests in GRequestes so that I don't exceed the number of requests per second I specify? Also - how can I make GRequestes retry after some time if HTTP 429 occurs? On a side note - their limit is ridiculously low. Something like 8 requests per 15 seconds. I breached it with my

One of the Additional HTTP Status Codes ( RFC6585 ) is 429 Too Many Requests Where can I find examples of HTTP / REST API Rate-Limiting HTTP response headers that are useful with this HTTP response status?
