key

Time Windows

Define the time window (e.g., per second, per minute) within which requests are requests are counted.

key

Customizable Limits

Set the maximum number of requests allowed during the specified window.

key

Dynamic Adjustment

Adjust the limits based on various factors like user roles, API keys, or real-time traffic.

key

Rate Limiting and Throttling

Implement either rate limiting (rejecting excess requests) or throttling (delaying requests) based on the chosen approach.

Middleware in Node.js

Easily integrate Digi-Rate-Limiter as middleware in your Node.js application, typically using frameworks like Express.js.

key

Express.js Example

The middleware is designed to work seamlessly with Express.js, allowing you to apply rate limiting to specific routes or globally.

key

Customizable Application

Integrate Digi-Rate-Limiter with your existing authentication and authorization systems to implement user-specific rate limits.

key

Default Behavior

By default, the middleware identifies clients by their IP address, allowing you to limit requests from individual IPs.

key

Fine-Grained Control

Apply different limits to different IP ranges or groups of users based on their IP addresses.

key

Network Security

Prevent malicious or abusive requests by restricting the rate at which individual IP addresses can access your server.

User-BasedUser-Based RateRate LimitingLimiting

API Keys

Use API keys to identify users and apply rate limits based on individual keys, ensuring that each key has its own rate limit.

User IDs

Leverage user IDs from your authentication system to enforce per-user rate limits, ensuring that users are not exceeding their allotted request rates.

Customizable Rules

Create flexible rate limiting rules based on user roles, subscriptions, or other factors relevant to your application.
