The following example will limit users under the "default" group to access /towns at most once per second and /forests at most once per minute. And the users in the "admin" group have no restrictions.
from typing import Tuple
from ratelimit import RateLimitMiddleware, Rule
# Simple rate-limiter in memory:
from ratelimit.backends.simple import MemoryBackend
rate_limit = RateLimitMiddleware(
ASGI_APP,
AUTH_FUNCTION,
MemoryBackend(),
{
r"^/towns": [Rule(second=1, group="default"), Rule(group="admin")],
r"^/forests": [Rule(minute=1, group="default"), Rule(group="admin")],
},
)
# with Redis:
from redis.asyncio import StrictRedis
from ratelimit.backends.redis import RedisBackend
rate_limit = RateLimitMiddleware(
ASGI_APP,
AUTH_FUNCTION,
RedisBackend(StrictRedis()),
{
r"^/towns": [Rule(second=1, group="default"), Rule(group="admin")],
r"^/forests": [Rule(minute=1, group="default"), Rule(group="admin")],
},
)Next, provide a custom authenticate function, or use one of the existing auth methods.
from ratelimit.auths import EmptyInformation
async def AUTH_FUNCTION(scope: Scope) -> Tuple[str, str]:
"""
Resolve the user's unique identifier and the user's group from ASGI SCOPE.
If there is no user information, it should raise `EmptyInformation`.
If there is no group information, it should return "default".
"""
# FIXME
# You must write the logic of this function yourself,
# or use the function in the following document directly.
return USER_UNIQUE_ID, GROUP_NAME
rate_limit = RateLimitMiddleware(ASGI_APP, AUTH_FUNCTION, ...)The Rule type takes a time unit (e.g. "second"), a "group", and a "method" as a param. If the "group" param is not specified then the "authenticate" method needs to return the "default group". The "method" param corresponds to the http method, if it is not specified, the rule will be applied to all http requests.
Example:
...
config={
r"^/towns": [Rule(second=1, method="get"), Rule(second=10, group="admin")],
}
...
async def AUTH_FUNCTION(scope: Scope) -> Tuple[str, str]:
...
# no group information about this user
if user not in admins_group:
return user_unique_id, 'default'
return user_unique_id, user_groupIt is possible to mix the rules to obtain higher level of control.
The below example will allow up to 10 requests per second and no more than 200 requests per minute, for everyone, for the same API endpoint.
...
config={
r"^/towns": [Rule(minute=200, second=10)],
}
...Example for a "admin" group with higher limits.
...
config={
r"^/towns": [
Rule(day=400, minute=200, second=10),
Rule(minute=500, second=25, group="admin"),
],
}
...Sometimes you may want to specify that some APIs share the same flow control pool. In other words, flow control is performed on the entire set of APIs instead of a single specific API. Only the zone parameter needs to be used. Note: You can give different rules the same zone value, and all rules with the same zone value share the same flow control pool.
...
config={
r"/user/\d+": [
Rule(minute=200, zone="user-api"),
Rule(second=100, zone="user-api", group="admin"),
],
}
...When the user's request frequency triggers the upper limit, all requests in the following period of time will be returned with a 429 status code.
Example: Rule(second=5, block_time=60), this rule will limit the user to a maximum of 5 visits per second. Once this limit is exceeded, all requests within the next 60 seconds will return 429.
If you want a rate limit a specifc HTTP method on an endpoint, the Rule object has a method param. If no method is specified, the default value is "*" for all HTTP methods.
r"^/towns": [
Rule(group="admin", method="get", second=10),
Rule(group="admin", method="post", second=2)
]Just specify on_blocked and you can customize the asgi application that is called when blocked.
def yourself_429(retry_after: int):
async def inside_yourself_429(scope: Scope, receive: Receive, send: Send) -> None:
await send({"type": "http.response.start", "status": 429})
await send(
{
"type": "http.response.body",
"body": b"custom 429 page",
"more_body": False,
}
)
return inside_yourself_429
RateLimitMiddleware(..., on_blocked=yourself_429)from ratelimit.auths.ip import client_ipObtain user IP through scope["client"] or X-Real-IP.
Note: this auth method will not work if your IP address (such as 127.0.0.1 etc) is not allocated for public networks.
from ratelimit.auths.session import from_sessionGet user and group from scope["session"].
If key group not in session, will return default. If key user not in session, will raise a EmptyInformation.
from ratelimit.auths.jwt import create_jwt_auth
jwt_auth = create_jwt_auth("KEY", "HS256")Get user and group from JWT that in Authorization header.
Normally exceptions raised in the authentication function result in an Internal Server Error, but you can pass a function to handle the errors and send the appropriate response back to the user. For example, if you're using FastAPI or Starlette:
from fastapi.responses import JSONResponse
from ratelimit.types import ASGIApp
async def handle_auth_error(exc: Exception) -> ASGIApp:
return JSONResponse({"message": "Unauthorized access."}, status_code=401)
RateLimitMiddleware(..., on_auth_error=handle_auth_error)For advanced usage you can handle the response completely by yourself:
from fastapi.responses import JSONResponse
from ratelimit.types import ASGIApp, Scope, Receive, Send
async def handle_auth_error(exc: Exception) -> ASGIApp:
async def response(scope: Scope, receive: Receive, send: Send):
# do something here e.g.
# await send({"type": "http.response.start", "status": 429})
return response
