📖 Basic Usage

Initialization

from limitly import Limitly

limitly = Limitly(api_key="your_limitly_api_key")

Request Validation

The most common use case is validating your users' requests:

# Validate a request
result = await limitly.validation.validate(
    "user_api_key",
    "/api/users",
    "GET"
)

if result.success:
    print("Request allowed")
    print(f"Current usage: {result.details.current_usage}")
    print(f"Limit: {result.details.limit}")
else:
    print(f"Request denied: {result.error}")

API Key Management

# List all API Keys
keys = await limitly.api_keys.list()
print(f"API Keys: {keys.data}")

# Create a new API Key
new_key = await limitly.api_keys.create(
    name="New API Key",
    user_id=123
)
print(f"New API Key: {new_key.data.api_key}")

# Get usage for an API Key
usage = await limitly.api_keys.get_usage("key-id")
print(f"Usage: {usage.data}")

Plan Management

# Create a plan
plan = await limitly.plans.create(
    name="Basic Plan",
    description="Plan for basic users",
    max_requests=10000,
    request_period="month"
)

# Get plan usage statistics
plan_usage = await limitly.plans.get_usage(plan.data.id)
print(f"Plan usage: {plan_usage.data}")

User Management

# Create a user
user = await limitly.users.create(
    name="John Doe",
    email="[e-mail]",
    plan_id="plan-id"
)

# Get user usage
user_usage = await limitly.users.get_usage(user.data.user_id)
print(f"User usage: {user_usage.data}")

🔧 Configuration

Configuration Options

🔍 Advanced Examples

FastAPI Middleware

from fastapi import FastAPI, HTTPException, Request

limitly = Limitly(api_key=os.getenv("LIMITLY_API_KEY"))

@app.middleware("http")
async def limitly_middleware(request: Request, call_next):
    api_key = request.headers.get("authorization", "").replace("Bearer ", "")
    
    if not api_key:
        raise HTTPException(status_code=401, detail="API Key required")
    
    try:
        result = await limitly.validation.validate(
            api_key,
            request.url.path,
            request.method
        )

                    "error": "Rate limit exceeded",
                    "details": result.details
                }

        response = await call_next(request)
        return response
    except LimitlyError as error:
        print(f"Validation error: {error}")
        raise HTTPException(status_code=500, detail="Internal error")

Usage Monitoring

# Monitor API Key usage
async def monitor_usage():
    keys = await limitly.api_keys.list()
    
    for key in keys.data or []:
        usage = await limitly.api_keys.get_usage(key.id)
        
        if usage.data and usage.data.percentage_used > 80:
            print(f"⚠️ API Key {key.name} is at {usage.data.percentage_used}% usage")

Automatic Plan Management

# Create predefined plans
async def setup_default_plans():
    plans = [
        {
            "name": "Basic Plan",
            "description": "For new users",
            "max_requests": 1000,
            "request_period": "month"
        },
        {
            "name": "Pro Plan",
            "description": "For advanced users",
            "max_requests": 10000,
            "request_period": "month"
        },
        {
            "name": "Enterprise Plan",
            "description": "Unlimited",
            "max_requests": -1,
            "request_period": "month"
