Throttle Requests with Flask-Limiter

Apply per-route and global rate limits.

Why Throttle At All

Without limits, one client can flood your API and starve everyone else. Rate limiting caps how often a caller may hit your routes.

Meet Flask-Limiter

The go-to tool is the Flask-Limiter extension. It watches incoming requests and rejects callers who go over their allowance.
