Make slowapi available as a dependency for FastAPI? about slowapi

[maitham]

You should just be able to create your own dependency like this

@limiter.limit("5/minute")
def rate_limit(request: Request):
    return None

@router.get(
    "/{user_key}", response_model=Mapping[str, List]]
)
def get_user(
    user_key: UUID,
    rate_limit = Depends(deps.rate_limit)
) -> Any: 
    pass

This appears to be the implementation approach for this other rate-limiting library for FastAPI.

Awesome work. I think also this pattern fits best with fastAPI and reduces boiler-plate.
