• API Limiting: Best Practices and Implementation
  2 projects | dev.to | 1 May 2023

  Implementing API rate limiting in your Node.js project is an important step toward maintaining the stability and reliability of your application. With the use of packages like express-rate-limit or rate-limiter-flexible, you can easily set limits on requests and prevent abuse of your API by malicious users.

• Hey guys. Any good idea to make so users can only send 20 api requests per hours in express node js. Any good package or code ? Thanks in advance

  https://www.npmjs.com/package/rate-limiter-flexible rate limit with a unique identifier. Ideally you should issue API keys for each user and rate limit those. You can rate limit by IP but of course someone can just change their IP with proxies.

  I recommend using rate-limit-flexible if you need stronger security. If not, there are a lot of example setups in the docs that you can use.

• Limiting Node.js API calls with express-rate-limit

  The express-rate-limit is a simple and straight forward library that solves this problem for us. It's not the most complete one, but is a lightweight and fast way to achieve this goal. For most refined options the express-rate-limit itself already recommends other libraries such as rate-limiter-flexible express-brute and express-limiter.

• How to rate limit a login route in Express using node-rate-limiter-flexible and Redis
  2 projects | dev.to | 31 May 2021

  Rate limiting is a method used for controlling network traffic. It limits the number of actions a user can make per unit of time 1. In this tutorial, we will rate limit a login route to help protect it from brute force attacks. This limits the number of password guesses that can be made by an attacker. We'll use the npm package node-rate-limiter-flexible to count and limit the number of login attempts by key. Each key will have a points value that will count the number of failed login attempts. The keys will expire after a set amount of time. The key-value pairs will be stored in Redis, which is an open-source in-memory data structure store. It has many different use cases. We will use it as a simple database. Redis is simple to use and it is very fast. We'll create an online instance of Redis, connect it to an express application, and then use the Redis command-line interface (redis-cli) to view the database. A prerequisite for this tutorial is an ExpressJS application with a login route and user authentication.

  Also we will use another third-party package called rate-limiter-flexible as it works with Redis, process Memory, Cluster or PM2, Memcached, MongoDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL and allows to control requests rate in a single process or distributed environment.
