RedisRateLimit

If an application goes beyond quota defined by public APIs, they might ban it. To overcome this issue, developers have to wrap each call to public APIs and make sure they don't make more requests than allowed.

Or in another words, this gem helps you to respect the ratio limit defined by external services like Twilio or others before your account gets suspended.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'redis_rate_limit'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install redis_rate_limit

Usage

rate_limit = new('Twilio', max_rpm: 60, redis: $redis)

rate_limite.safe_call do 
  twilio_sdk.send_verification_sms('+123456789')
end

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
