Django ratelimiter provides a decorator to wrap Django views. It relies on limits library.

By default it uses it's own storage backend based on django cache, but it can also use storages provided by limits.

Quickstart

Django configuration

With django cache storage:

# Set up django caches
CACHES = {
    "redis": {
        "BACKEND": "django.core.cache.backends.redis.RedisCache",
        "LOCATION": "redis://127.0.0.1:6379",
    }
}

# "default" cache is used if setting is not defined.
DJANGO_RATELIMITER_CACHE = "redis"

With limits storage:

from limits.storage import RedisStorage

DJANGO_RATELIMITER_STORAGE = RedisStorage(uri="redis://localhost:6379/0")

Decorate the view

from django_ratelimiter import ratelimit

@ratelimit("5/minute")
def view(request: HttpRequest) -> HttpResponse:
    return HttpResponse("OK")
