redismodule-ratelimit

Install and configure redis.

Usage

From Redis (try running redis-cli) use the new RATELIMIT.ALLOW command loaded by the module. It's used like this:

RATELIMIT.ALLOW <key> <interval(ns)> <burst>

Where key is an identifier to rate limit against.

For example:

RATELIMIT.ALLOW abc 1000000000 100
                 ▲       ▲      ▲
                 |       |      └─────  100 burst
                 |       └────────────  1 tokens / 1 seconds
                 └────────────────────  key "abc"

Response

The command will respond with integer:

127.0.0.1:6379> RATELIMIT.ALLOW abc 1000000000 100
(integer) 1

Whether the action was limited:

• 1 indicates the action is allowed.
