Rate Limiting API is designed to prevent abuse of the API and to ensure fair usage by all users. It helps in maintaining the performance and availability of the service for all users.
What is Rate Limiting?
Rate Limiting is a method used to control the number of requests a user can make to an API within a certain time frame. This helps in preventing abuse and ensures that the API remains available for all users.
How does it work?
When you make a request to the API, the system checks the number of requests you have made in the past few minutes. If you exceed the limit, your request will be temporarily blocked.
Rate Limits
- Standard User: 100 requests per minute
- Premium User: 200 requests per minute
How to Check Your Usage
You can check your rate limit usage by making a GET request to /api/rate-limiting/usage.
Tips for Avoiding Exceeding Limits
- Batch Your Requests: If possible, batch your requests to reduce the number of requests you make.
- Use Caching: Cache the results of your requests to reduce the number of requests you make.
- Monitor Your Usage: Regularly monitor your rate limit usage to ensure you do not exceed the limits.
