Laravel API Rate Limiter
Lightens rate limits for specific API endpoints containing sensitive data or functionalities, further enhancing security.
Laravel API Rate Limiter
Laravel provides a robust API Rate Limiter tool to help you protect your APIs from malicious attacks and ensure fair resource allocation among users. Here's a breakdown of its key aspects: Purpose: Prevent Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks: By limiting the number of requests a user can make in a specific timeframe, you hinder malicious attempts to overwhelm your server and disrupt service. Ensure fair resource allocation: Distribute server resources equitably by preventing a single user or process from monopolizing them, improving overall API performance and stability.
- Throttles API requests: Limits the number of requests a user, IP address, or custom identifier can make within a specified timeframe, preventing Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks and resource overload.
- Fair resource allocation: Ensures equitable distribution of server resources among users, preventing individual users from consuming a disproportionate share.
- Protects sensitive endpoints: Tightens rate limits for specific API endpoints containing sensitive data or functionalities, further enhancing security.
- Maintains API stability: By preventing sudden resource spikes, the rate limiter contributes to overall API stability and responsiveness for all users.
- Prevents brute-force attacks: Limiting login attempts helps protect user accounts from unauthorized access and improves overall security.
- Provides fair access: By distributing resources equally, the rate limiter ensures all users have a fair chance to access the API without encountering delays caused by others.
- Customizable responses: Defining clear error messages when rate limits are reached informs users about the situation and prevents confusion.
- Global Rate Limiting: Set a global limit across all routes for an added layer of protection.

- Simple integration: Integrates seamlessly with Laravel's middleware system for easy application to routes.
- Multiple methods: Choose from rate limiting based on user, IP address, or a combination of both.
- Configurable limits: Define the number of allowed requests and the time window (seconds, minutes, hours) for each scenario.
- Custom logic: Implement custom logic within the rate limiting process to tailor it to your specific needs.
- Cache-based storage: Leverages Laravel's cache system for efficient storage and retrieval of rate limit data.
- Integration with Sanctum and Passport: Works seamlessly with Laravel's API authentication systems for further control.
- Limiting login attempts: Prevent brute-force attacks by limiting the number of login attempts per IP address.
- Controlling API bursts: Limit the number of API calls a user can make within a minute to prevent sudden resource spikes.
