A rate-limiting library for ASP.NET Web API providing a throttling handler, OWIN middleware, and action filter. It controls request rates per IP address, client API key, and route with configurable per-second to per-week limits.

Use cases

• rate limit API requests by client IP
• throttle requests per API key
• limit calls per endpoint route
• add OWIN middleware throttling to self-hosted Web API
• set per-second, per-minute, hourly and daily request quotas
• block abusive API clients in IIS-hosted services

When to choose

• you maintain a classic ASP.NET Web API (not Core) app on IIS or OWIN
• you need IP, client-key, or route-scoped throttling with multiple time windows
• you want a simple NuGet package with cache-based counter storage

When to avoid

• you are building an ASP.NET Core application - use AspNetCoreRateLimit instead
• you need distributed rate limiting across multiple servers with a shared store like Redis
• you need a modern, actively developed rate-limiting solution
