kandi X-RAY | WebApiThrottle Summary

WebApiThrottle is a C# library typically used in Web Services, REST applications. WebApiThrottle has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has medium support. You can download it from GitHub.

ASP.NET Web API Throttling handler, OWIN middleware and filter are designed to control the rate of requests that clients can make to a Web API based on IP address, client API key and request route. WebApiThrottle package is available on NuGet at [nuget.org/packages/WebApiThrottle] Web API throttling can be configured using the built-in ThrottlePolicy. You can set multiple limits for different scenarios like allowing an IP or Client to make a maximum number of calls per second, per minute, per hour per day or even per week. You can define these limits to address all requests made to an API or you can scope the limits to each API route. If you are looking for the ASP.NET Core version please head to [AspNetCoreRateLimit] project. AspNetCoreRateLimit is a full rewrite of WebApiThrottle and offers more flexibility in configuring rate limiting for Web API and MVC apps.

QUESTION

Limit concurrent requests in Azure App Service

Asked 2017-Jul-11 at 07:00

Given the following

ASP.NET Web API application
Target: .NET Framework 4.6.1
Hosted as Azure App Service

I wish to restrict the total number of concurrent HTTP requests to the application.

I have looked at https://github.com/stefanprodan/WebApiThrottle but that seems to be focused on different use cases.

I would like the equivalent of this setting in IIS: https://forums.asp.net/t/1683143.aspx?Max+concurrent+requests

This is to avoid attacking a backend service in counterproductive ways.

To avoid the attack, you could restrict the concurrent requests using Dynamic IP Restrictions. If the concurrent requests count is larger than the setting value, the IP address will be blocked.

QUESTION

Block API requests for 5 mins if API rate limit exceeds using WebApiThrottle - C# Web API

Asked 2017-Mar-04 at 08:38

There's a real nice library WebApiThrottle for API rate limiting in Web API.
As mentioned on the Wiki page, I can rate limit the API based on the authorization token header of API call.
But, how can I block the api call for the next 5 minutes if this api rate limit exceeds? Also, not that any request within next 5 minutes will reset the rate limiting exceeded time.

I checked the code but couldn't find this feature. Any other way if someone can suggest?

For the time being, I'm using this fork of WebApiThrottle and adding the dll manually to the solution. @adamriyadi has implemented this feature in the fork. Waiting for it to come to NuGet package.

Update: Later, I went with my own implementation for API rate limiting with blocking period using HttpRuntime.Cache. So there is no need to add any additional library.
