Class: Chokepoint::Daily

Inherits:
TimeWindow show all
Defined in:
lib/chokepoint/daily.rb

Overview

This rate limiter strategy throttles the block by defining a maximum number of allowed calls per day (by default, 86,400 requests per 24 hours, which works out to an average of 1 request per second).

Note that this strategy doesn’t use a sliding time window, but rather tracks requests per calendar day. This means that the throttling counter is reset at midnight (according to the local timezone) every night.

Examples:

Allowing up to 86,400 requests per day

Chokepoint::Daily.new('activity').throttle do ... end

Allowing up to 1,000 requests per day

Chokepoint::Daily.new('activity', :max => 1000).throttle do ... end
