A Django library providing a decorator to rate-limit views based on IP address or request fields, using Django's cache backend. It is a lightweight, cache-based rate-limiting solution for Django applications.
Use cases
- rate limit django views by ip address
- prevent brute force login attempts in django
- throttle api endpoints in django
- limit form submissions per user
- add rate limiting to django without extra infrastructure
When to choose
- you use Django and want simple decorator-based rate limiting
- you already have a cache backend (Redis, Memcached) configured
- you need per-request-field or IP-based limits on views
When to avoid
- you need distributed rate limiting beyond your cache backend's guarantees
- you're not using Django
- you need advanced algorithms like token bucket or sliding window logs
