The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
Let's look at some examples of configuring the rate-limiting policy for a single consumer and a group of consumers with the help of key-auth authentication key (API Key) and limit-count plugins. For the demo case, we can leverage the sample project built on ASP.NET Core WEB API with a single GET endpoint (retrieves all products list). You can find in README file all instructions on how to run the sample app.
Nowadays APIs connect multiple systems, internal services, and third-party applications easily and securely. API consumers are probably the most important stakeholders for API providers because they interact the most with the APIs and the developer portal. This post explains how to manage your single or multiple API consumers with an open-source API Management solution such as Apache APISIX.
