limits#
limits is a python library to perform rate limiting with commonly used storage backends (Redis, Memcached & MongoDB).
Get started by taking a look at Installation and Quickstart.
To learn more about the different strategies refer to the Rate limiting strategies section.
For an overview of supported backends refer to Storage Backends.
Development#
The source is available on Github
To get started
$ git clone git://github.com/alisaifee/limits.git
$ cd limits
$ pip install -r requirements/dev.txt
Since limits integrates with various backend storages, local development and running tests requires a a working docker & docker-compose installation.
Running the tests will start the relevant containers automatically - but will leave them running so as to not incur the overhead of starting up on each test run. To run the tests:
$ pytest
Once you’re done - you will probably want to clean up the docker containers:
$ docker-compose down
