In this example, will gonna suppose that we already has been set the API function in our project and already have a business logic to maintenance the quota for rate limit, like a process to initialize the quota every month or send an email when the rate limit quota for a user is been gone, stuff like that.
Step 1:
We need to add 2 fields in our table users, ratelimit& ratelimitquotatype int default 0
Step 2:
We need to increment and check the ratelimitquotavs ratelimitin AfterSuccessfulLoginusing the next code.
if (inRestApi()) {
//Updating the quota for this user.
$UpdatedData = array();
$UpdatedData["ratelimitquota"] = $data["ratelimitquota"] + 1;
DB::Update("users", $UpdatedData, "username = '" . $username . "'" );
//
if ( $UpdatedData["ratelimitquota"] > $data["ratelimit"] ) //Verifying the quoteavs their rate limit
{
API::sendError( 'Too many requests', 429 );
}
}
Step 3:
Test your api in a browser, add a rate limit to a test user
http://localhost/test/api/v1.php?table=users&action=list
I hope this help to anyone.
