How to set the rate limiter for per second in Laravel version 8

[Mahendran K]

How to set the rate limiter per second in **Laravel 8**. I need to set the rate limiter per second instead of per minute.

Rate Limiter (Laravel 8) - https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/routing#rate-limiting

Right now I'm able to use Laravel's rate limiter for minutes, hours, etc. But I'm trying to achieve a rate limiter for a second. I want to limit 25 requests per sec.

(Exported Limit class from "Illuminate\Cache\RateLimiting\Limit")

 

Please check the following code which I have used 

    RateLimiter::for('api', function (Request $request) {

            return [

                // Rate limiter based on Client IP Address

                Limit::perMinute(env('IP_ADDR_RATE_LIMITER_PER_MINUTE', 60))->by($request->ip())->response(function () {

                    ....

                }),

                // Rate limiter based on API key/User

                Limit::perMinute(env('API_KEY_RATE_LIMITER_PER_MINUTE', 60))->by($request->input('key'))->response(function () {

                    ...

                })

            ];

        });

Is there any way to rate-limit 25 requests per second?

Note: also tried adding/changing functions in Illuminate\Cache\RateLimiting\Limit, where I tried altering the per minute function.

Thanks in Advance.

Hello ,
Prob. Answer :
1- Configure Rate Limiter in RouteServiceProvider
2- Open App\Providers\RouteServiceProvider class and add following changes:

/** * 

Configure the rate limiters for the application. 

* 

*

@return void 

*/ 

protected function configureRateLimiting() 

{ 

     // ALLOW 1500/60 = 25 Request/Sec 

     RateLimiter::for('api', function (Request $request) {

      return Limit::perMinute(1500); }); 

      // ALLOW 1000/60 = 16.66 Request/Sec 

      RateLimiter::for('api', function (Request $request) { 

       return Limit::perMinute(1000)->response(function () { 

        return response('Too many request...', 429); 

     });  

   });  

  }

Hope this solution work.
