Introduction

FastAPI-Limiter is a rate limiting tool for fastapi routes with lua script.

Requirements

Install

Just install from pypi

> pip install fastapi-limiter

Quick Start

FastAPI-Limiter is simple to use, which just provide a dependency RateLimiter, the following example allow 2 times request per 5 seconds in route /.

import aioredis
import uvicorn
from fastapi import Depends, FastAPI

from fastapi_limiter import FastAPILimiter
from fastapi_limiter.depends import RateLimiter

app = FastAPI()


@app.on_event("startup")
async def startup():
    redis = await aioredis.create_redis_pool("redis://localhost")
    await FastAPILimiter.init(redis)


@app.get("/", dependencies=[Depends(RateLimiter(times=2, seconds=5))])
async def index():
    return {"msg": "Hello World"}


if __name__ == "__main__":
    uvicorn.run("main:app", debug=True, reload=True)

Usage

There are some config in FastAPILimiter.init.

redis

The redis instance of aioredis.

prefix

Prefix of redis key.

identifier

Identifier of route limit, default is ip, you can override it such as userid and so on.

async def default_identifier(request: Request):
    forwarded = request.headers.get("X-Forwarded-For")
    if forwarded:
        return forwarded.split(",")[0]
    return request.client.host + ":" + request.scope["path"]

callback

Callback when access is forbidden, default is raise HTTPException with 429 status code.

async def default_callback(request: Request, response: Response, pexpire: int):
    """
    default callback when too many requests
    :param request:
    :param pexpire: The remaining milliseconds
    :param response:
    :return:
    """
    expire = ceil(pexpire / 1000)

    raise HTTPException(
        HTTP_429_TOO_MANY_REQUESTS, "Too Many Requests", headers={"Retry-After": str(expire)}
    )

Multiple limiters

You can use multiple limiters in one route.

@app.get(
    "/multiple",
    dependencies=[
        Depends(RateLimiter(times=1, seconds=5)),
        Depends(RateLimiter(times=2, seconds=15)),
    ],
)
async def multiple():
    return {"msg": "Hello World"}

Not that you should note the dependencies orders, keep lower of result of seconds/times at the first.

Lua script

The lua script used.

local key = KEYS[1]
local limit = tonumber(ARGV[1])
local expire_time = ARGV[2]

local current = tonumber(redis.call('get', key) or "0")
if current > 0 then
    if current + 1 > limit then
        return redis.call("PTTL", key)
    else
        redis.call("INCR", key)
        return 0
    end
else
    redis.call("SET", key, 1, "px", expire_time)
    return 0
end
