# http-transport-rate-limiter

A global plugin for http-transport to utilise the [simple-rate-limiter](https://github.com/xavi-/node-simple-rate-limiter).

## Usage

Configure the plugin as shown below. You can then use it as a global plugin for http-transport.

```js

const simpleRateLimiterPlugin = require('@bbc/http-transport-rate-limiter')(count, duration);

```

The plugin takes two arguments:

- `count`: The amount of calls that are allowed per time window

- `duration`: The length of the time window to restrict calls within. In milliseconds.

### Example

```js

'use strict';

const url = 'http://example.com/';

const simpleRateLimiterPlugin = require('@bbc/http-transport-rate-limiter');

const client = require('@bbc/http-transport').createBuilder()

  .use(simpleRateLimiterPlugin(2, 1000)

  .createClient();

const res = await client

  .get(url)

  .asResponse();

 

if (res.statusCode === 200) {

  console.log(res.body);

}

```
