Class: Rack::Throttle::Minute

Inherits:
TimeWindow show all
Defined in:
lib/rack/throttle/minute.rb

Overview

This rate limiter strategy throttles the application by defining a maximum number of allowed HTTP requests per minute (by default, 60 requests per minute, 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 distinct minute. This means that the throttling counter is reset every minute.

Examples:

Allowing up to 60 requests/minute

use Rack::Throttle::Minute

Allowing up to 100 requests per hour

use Rack::Throttle::Minute, :max => 100
