lxcor-kotta 0.1.0

Throttling and quota enforcement for Django REST Framework — per-endpoint rate limits, tier-based quotas, and usage tracking.

kotta

Throttling and quota enforcement for Django REST Framework.

kotta provides per-endpoint rate limits, tier-based quotas, and usage tracking. Tiers are database-driven so limits can be changed without a deployment. Integrates with lxcor-reggi API keys for per-key tracking.

Part of the lxcor/api-suite.
