I am searching for API ratelimiting and can't find anything... Is it possible to handle all of this in nginx? ( Seting/evaluating headers, limiting connection, IP whitelisting ) ?
I want to throttle access to our API and send extra headers, based on the limit say 100 req / minute for 1 IP you would get a 429 HTTP error code ( Too many requests ) and extra header X-RateLimit-Reset: would state how much time left until limit will expire. X-RateLimit-Limit: 60 X-RateLimit-Remaining: 56 X-RateLimit-Reset: 54 Like github does and documents it: https://developer.github.com/v3/rate_limit/ Posted at Nginx Forum: http://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,257678,257678#msg-257678 _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
