Rates

Rates are of the form X/u where X is a number of requests and u is a unit from this list:

  • s - second
  • m - minute
  • h - hour
  • d - day

(For example, you can read 5/s as "five per second.")

Note

Setting a rate of 0 per any unit of time will disallow requests, e.g. 0/s will prevent any requests to the endpoint.

Rates may also be set to None, which indicates "there is no limit." Usage will not be tracked.

You may also specify a number of units, i.e.: X/Yu where Y is a number of units. If u is omitted, it is presumed to be seconds. So, the following are equivalent, and all mean "one hundred requests per five minutes":

  • 100/5m
  • 100/300s
  • 100/300
