Good steps to take in the article. But I'd also add that Django REST Framework, which they seem to be using, has throttling capabilities built-in which I would have attempted before changing the API: https://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/throttling/ https://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/throttling/ Adding pagination seems reasonable, but it may have broken clients who didn't expect pagination to be there.
