How can I implement rate limiting in my Flask API?

You can use the Flask-Limiter extension to easily implement rate limiting in your Flask API. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a code example.

Here's a simple example:

from flask import Flask
from flask_limiter import Limiter

app = Flask(__name__)
limiter = Limiter(app, key_func=get_remote_address)

@app.route('/api/resource')
@limiter.limit('5 per minute')
def resource():
    return 'This is a rate-limited resource.'

What if I want to set different limits for different endpoints?

You can specify different limits by applying the @limiter.limit decorator to each endpoint with the desired rate. For example:

@app.route('/api/endpoint1')
@limiter.limit('10 per minute')
def endpoint1():
    return 'Endpoint 1'

@app.route('/api/endpoint2')
@limiter.limit('2 per second')
def endpoint2():
    return 'Endpoint 2'
