Reliable API integration is impossible without overload protection mechanisms and external threats. To do this, we implement support for rate limiting and IP filtering, which allow you to control the frequency of API calls, restrict access to interfaces only to trusted addresses, and exclude unauthorized connections.
This is critical when working with payment gateways, game cores, admin panels and public APIs.
What protection includes
| Mechanism | Description and application |
|---|---|
| Rate Limiting | Limit the number of requests per interval (e.g. 100/min) |
| Per-user limit | Token or user restrictions |
| Per-endpoint limit | API Critical Methods Load Control |
| IP White-List | API access is allowed only from specific IP or subnets |
| IP Blacklist (optional) | Blocking unwanted addresses when suspicious activity occurs |
Implementation features
Support for sliding window or fixed intervals- Ability to set limits for different roles and clients
- Separate policies for internal and public APIs
- Logging of all excesses and access attempts from prohibited IP
- Responses with HTTP codes 429 and explanation of the blocking reason
API and Platform Benefits
Protection against DDoS and automated scanners- Reduced server load and stability during peaks
- Improved security by limiting access
- Flexible customization by client, role, and entry point
- Transparent system for managing limits and IP lists through the admin panel
Where especially relevant
Financial and payment APIs- Elevated Administrative Interfaces and APIs
- Public APIs with many external clients
- Internal microservices requiring isolation and traffic control
Rate limiting and IP white-list are fundamental API security mechanisms. They allow you to maintain stability, eliminate abuse and accurately control who and how interacts with your system.
