Rate Limit Redis

Redis client for the express-rate-limit middleware.

Install

$ npm install --save rate-limit-redis

Usage

var RateLimit = require('express-rate-limit');
var RedisStore = require('rate-limit-redis');

var limiter = new RateLimit({
  store: new RedisStore({
    // see Configuration
  }),
  max: 100, // limit each IP to 100 requests per windowMs
  delayMs: 0 // disable delaying - full speed until the max limit is reached
});

//  apply to all requests
app.use(limiter);

Configuration

• expiry: seconds - how long each rate limiting window exists for. Defaults to 60.
• resetExpiryOnCount: number - if the rate limiting count is greater than this number, the expiry time should be reset every time a key is incremented/decremented. This means that when the limit is reached and the user is given a 429 response, the rate limit window is extended. Defaults to 0.
• prefix: string - prefix to add to entries in Redis. Defaults to rl:.
• client: Redis Client or ioredis Client- A Redis Client to use. Defaults to require('redis').createClient();.
