Tutorial: Using the Quota Policy to enforce access limits on your APIs

1 0 1,860

Use the Quota policy to configure the number of requests that an API proxy allows over a period of time, such as a minute, hour, day, week, or month. You can set the quota to be the same for all apps accessing the API proxy, or you can set the quota based on:

  • The product that contains the API proxy
  • The app requesting the API
  • The app developer
  • Many other criteria

In this first video, you learn how to create a basic Quota policy with static values for setting access limits:

In the second video, you learn how to create a dynamic Quota policy where a single policy can enforce different access limits based on the API product, app, app developer, or other information used in a request to an API:

For detailed information about the Quota policy, including additional examples and sample code, see the doc here.
