Advanced Rate Limiting
Protect your applications and APIs with precision and control against malicious traffic, without affecting legitimate users.
Get StartedAdvanced Rate Limiting Capabilities
Precise Protection
Count requests using keys like headers, ASN, country, IP, and fingerprints. Stop malicious traffic without blocking real users with multiple keys for precise targeting.
Granular Control
Set filters and thresholds to match your business logic. Maintain protection against new threats with custom rules for flexible security.
Unmetered Protection
Get full protection without hidden costs. Avoid surprise expenses from traffic spikes and attacks with no limits on traffic protection.
The Challenge of Modern Attack Techniques
Websites and APIs face threats from bots, scrapers, and malicious users. Traditional IP-based rate limiting falls short against distributed attacks using residential proxies.
Distributed Attacks
Attackers use distributed networks and residential IPs to bypass traditional rate limits.
Application Layer Attacks
Layer 7 DDoS and brute-force attacks can overwhelm your application resources.
API and Content Scraping
Automated tools scrape APIs and content, impacting performance and business intelligence.
