Django API Key management & validation

django-simplekeys is a reusable Django app that provides a simple way to add API keys to an existing Django project, regardless of API framework.

• GitHub: https://github.com/jamesturk/django-simplekeys

• Documentation: https://django-simplekeys.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Features

• Token bucket rate limiting, for limiting requests/second with optional bursting behavior.

• Quota-based rate limiting (e.g. requests/day)

• Ability to configure different usage tiers, to give different users different rates/quotas.

• Ability to configure different ‘zones’ so that different API methods can have different limits. (e.g. some particularly computationally expensive queries can have a much lower limit than cheap GET queries)

• Provided views for very simple email-based API key registration.
