Rate Limiting and API Versioning

Throttle requests with RateLimiter and version your API cleanly.

Why Rate Limit?

Rate limiting protects APIs from abuse, DoS attacks, and runaway clients. It ensures fair resource distribution among all users.

Built-in Laravel Throttle

Apply the throttle middleware to limit requests per time window.

<?php
Route::middleware("throttle:60,1")->group(function () {
    // 60 requests per 1 minute per user/IP
    Route::apiResource("posts", PostController::class);
});
