Limit Req | APISIX & API7 API Gateway Docs

Parameters

See plugin common configurations for configuration options available to all plugins.

rate
integer
required
vaild vaule:
greater than 0
The maximum number of requests allowed per second. Requests exceeding the rate and below burst will be delayed.
burst
integer
required
vaild vaule:
greater than or equal to 0
The number of requests allowed to be delayed per second for throttling. Requests exceeding the rate and burst will get rejected.
key_type
string
default: var
vaild vaule:
var or var_combination
The type of key.
If the key_type is var, the key is interpreted as a variable.
If the key_type is var_combination, the key is interpreted as a combination of variables.
key
string
required
default: remote_addr
The key to count requests by.
If the key_type is var, the key is interpreted as a variable. The variable does not need to be prefixed by a dollar sign ($). See built-in variables for available variables.
If the key_type is var_combination, the key is interpreted as a combination of variables. All variables should be prefixed by dollar signs ($). For example, to configure the key to use a combination of two request headers custom-a and custom-b, the key should be configured as $http_custom_a $http_custom_b.
rejected_code
integer
default: 503
vaild vaule:
between 200 and 599 inclusive
The HTTP status code returned when a request is rejected for exceeding the threshold.
rejected_msg
string
vaild vaule:
any non-empty string
The response body returned when a request is rejected for exceeding the threshold.
nodelay
boolean
default: false
If true, do not delay requests within the burst threshold.
allow_degradation
boolean
default: false
If true, allow the gateway to continue handling requests without the plugin when the plugin or its dependencies become unavailable.
policy
string
default: local
vaild vaule:
local, redis, or redis-cluster
The policy for rate limiting counter. Required for API7 Enterprise (from 3.9.0) and optional for APISIX.
When set to local, the counter is stored in memory locally. When set to redis, the counter is stored on a Redis instance. When set to redis-cluster, the counter is stored in a Redis cluster.
redis_host
string
The address of the Redis node. Required when policy is redis.
redis_port
integer
default: 6379
vaild vaule:
greater than or equal to 1
The port of the Redis node when policy is redis.
redis_username
string
The username for Redis if Redis ACL is used. If you use the legacy authentication method requirepass, configure only the redis_password. Used when policy is redis.
redis_password
string
The password of the Redis node when policy is redis or redis-cluster.
redis_database
integer
default: 0
vaild vaule:
greater than or equal to 0
The database number in Redis when policy is redis.
redis_ssl
boolean
default: false
If true, use SSL to connect to Redis when policy is redis.

If true, verify the server SSL certificate when policy is redis.
redis_timeout
integer
default: 1000
vaild vaule:
greater than or equal to 1
The Redis timeout value in milliseconds when policy is redis or redis-cluster.
redis_keepalive_timeout
integer
default: 10000
vaild vaule:
greater than or equal to 1000
Keepalive timeout in milliseconds for Redis when policy is redis or redis-cluster.
This parameter is available in APISIX from version 3.15.0 and is not yet available in API7 Enterprise.
redis_keepalive_pool
integer
default: 100
vaild vaule:
greater than or equal to 1
Keepalive pool size for Redis when policy is redis or redis-cluster.
This parameter is available in APISIX from version 3.15.0 and is not yet available in API7 Enterprise.
redis_cluster_nodes
array[string]
The list of Redis cluster nodes with at least two addresses. Required when policy is redis-cluster.
redis_cluster_name
string
The name of the Redis cluster. Required when policy is redis-cluster.
redis_cluster_ssl
boolean

If true, use SSL to connect to Redis cluster when policy is redis-cluster.
redis_cluster_ssl_verify
boolean
default: false
If true, verify the server SSL certificate when policy is redis-cluster.
