Getting Started

from fastapi import FastAPI, Depends
from traffik import HTTPThrottle
from traffik.backends.inmemory import InMemoryBackend

throttle_backend = InMemoryBackend()
app = FastAPI(lifespan=throttle_backend.lifespan)
throttle = HTTPThrottle(limit=100, minutes=1)

@app.get("/api/data")
async def get_data(request: Request = Depends(throttle)):
    return {"data": "This endpoint is rate limited!"}
