ratelimit

Simple rate limiter

Returns 1 if rate limit exceeded, otherwise 0
Keys
  1. Key to use as an expiring counter, e.g. "ratelimit:ip:127.0.0.1"
Args
  1. Maximum number of calls
  2. Amount of time in milliseconds

Example

This example sets a rate limit of 5 calls per 10 seconds. Repeatedly running the script 6 times in under ten seconds, we see the rate-limiter's effect.
