Flask-Limiter provides rate limiting features to flask applications.
It allows configuring various backends to persist the rate limits, which is provided by the limits library.
Compatibility
The 2.x versions of the extension only supports Pythons versions >= 3.7 and Flask >= 2.0.
If you are looking for support for older versions, please refer to the 1.x branch
Quickstart
Add the rate limiter to your flask app. The following example uses the default in memory implementation for storage.
from flask import Flask
from flask_limiter import Limiter
from flask_limiter.util import get_remote_address
app = Flask(__name__)
limiter = Limiter(
app,
key_func=get_remote_address,
default_limits=["2 per minute", "1 per second"],
)
@app.route("/slow")
@limiter.limit("1 per day")
def slow():
return "24"
@app.route("/fast")
def fast():
return "42"
@app.route("/ping")
@limiter.exempt
def ping():
return 'PONG'
app.run()Test it out. The fast endpoint respects the default rate limit while the slow endpoint uses the decorated one. ping has no rate limit associated with it.
$ curl localhost:5000/fast

$ curl localhost:5000/fast

$ curl localhost:5000/fast
