- BoorishBears 10y agoIs it that hard to setup a BaaS lambda function that just increments a DB field and checks it before making the Twitter call to rate-limit users? Even outside abuse I'd want to be able to rate-limit my API actions to the realm of stuff humans can do to keep out bots
- aperetto 10y agoThere is a little more control, and you can setup limits for users. This prevents a wide leak of an API key.
