Rate Limiting: Global and for Guests/Users in Laravel

Rate Limiting: Global and for Guests/Users in Laravel

You can limit some URL to be called a maximum of 60 times per minute, with throttle:60,1.

Route::middleware('auth:api', 'throttle:60,1')->group(function ()
{
         Route::get('/user', function () {
             // TODO
         });
});

But also, you can do it separately for public and for logged-in users.

// maximum of 10 requests for guests, 60 for authenticated users
Route::middleware('throttle:10|60,1')->group(function () {
        //
});

Also, you can have a DB field users.rate_limit and limit the amount for specific user:

Route::middleware('auth:api', 'throttle:rate_limit,1')->group(function () {
        Route::get('/user', function () {
            //
       });
});
