Unthrottle

Centralized rate limiting for ruby processes sharing a single API using Redis.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install unthrottle

Usage

require 'logger'
logger = Logger.new(STDOUT)
logger.level = Logger::DEBUG
Unthrottle.configure do |config|
  config.host = "localhost"
  config.port = "6379"
  config.db = "1"

  config.key = "google_geocoding_api"
  config.rate_limit_time = 3 # Millisecs
  config.limit = 3           # Number of api call during timeout

  config.logger = logger
end

(1..20).each do |count|
  Unthrottle.api(:timeout => 30) {
    logger.info count
  }
end
