Limit on base url and ignore parameter.

[bert2002]

At the moment I have a implantation with Fastapi that limits on the following endpoint:

@app.get("/v1/endpoint/{parameter}")
@limiter.limit("60/minute")

This is generation limits for varous endpoints, like:

/v1/endpoint/a
/v1/endpoint/b
/v1/endpoint/c

I want the limit to apply for /v1/endpoint/* though. Even with global enforcement it will not.
I can identify users with an get request, could that work as identifier?

Thanks,
bert

You can use shared_limit (instead of limit) and define a scope to work around this:
https://slowapi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/

e.g. for your example ("60/minute" is the limit_value, "/v1/endpoint" is the scope - this can be any string you want, but it will be easier for you to identify the enforced limits if you make it the same as your endpoint)

@app.get("/v1/endpoint/{parameter}")
@limiter.shared_limit("60/minute", "/v1/endpoint")
