In this blog post, we will learn about Rate Limiting and how we can implement it in Asp.net Core Minimal API. Rate limiting is the process of limiting how much a resource can be accessed. It is based on tracking the client IP where the requests are sent from and monitoring how much time elapses between each request. The Rate-limiting middleware measures the time between each request from the client IP and the number of requests within a specified rule. Using rate limiting can motivate third-party developers to pay more to use our API(s). Another benefit of implementing rate limiting is to protect our API against malicious bot attacks. The blog post also discusses the implementation of Rate Limiting in AspNetCoreRateLimit nugget package and how to configure it using appsettings.json file. The post covers client and custom rate limit configuration and general rules regarding rate limiting. Overall, the blog is a must-read for anyone looking to implement rate limiting in their APIs.
