  • 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.

  • Express

    Fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for node.

  • Then I will install the necessary packages for this application: the express and the express-rate-limit
