Rate Keeper: Used to limit function call frequency. It ensures your function is called evenly within the limit rather than being called intensively in a short time. Moreover, it can dynamically adjust the call frequency based on remaining calls and time.

Installation

pip install rate-keeper

Quick Start

from rate_keeper import RateKeeper

if __name__ == "__main__":
    rate_keeper = RateKeeper(limit=3, period=1)

    @rate_keeper.decorator
    def request(url: str) -> str:
        print(url, rate_keeper, f"{rate_keeper.delay_time:.2f}")

    count = 0
    while count < 6:
        request(f"https://www.example.com/{count}")
        count += 1

# Output:
# https://www.example.com/0 RateKeeper(limit=3, period=1, used=1, reset=89614.39) 0.00
# https://www.example.com/1 RateKeeper(limit=3, period=1, used=2, reset=89614.39) 0.50
# https://www.example.com/2 RateKeeper(limit=3, period=1, used=1, reset=89615.406) 0.48
# https://www.example.com/3 RateKeeper(limit=3, period=1, used=2, reset=89615.406) 0.50
# https://www.example.com/4 RateKeeper(limit=3, period=1, used=1, reset=89616.421) 0.49
# https://www.example.com/5 RateKeeper(limit=3, period=1, used=2, reset=89616.421) 0.50

Dynamic Adjust
