Quickstart¶
Warning
django_ratelimit requires a Django cache backend that supports atomic increment operations. The Memcached and Redis backends do, but the database backend does not. More information can be found in Installation
Install:
pip install django-ratelimit
Use as a decorator in views.py:
from django_ratelimit.decorators import ratelimit
@ratelimit(key='ip')
def myview(request):
# ...
@ratelimit(key='ip', rate='100/h')
def secondview(request):
# ...
Before activating django-ratelimit, you should ensure that your cache backend is setup to be both persistent and work across multiple deployment worker instances (for instance UWSGI workers). Read more in the Django docs on caching.
