Rate limiting is a critical technique employed in many Python applications to control the number of requests a user or client can make within a specific time period. It helps prevent abuse, ensures fair usage of resources, and maintains application stability. Monitoring when a user is being rate-limited is crucial to identify potential issues, ensure the proper functioning of your application, and provide a smooth user experience.
Saashound, a powerful real-time event tracking tool, offers seamless monitoring for rate limiting in your Python application. By integrating Saashound directly into your application, you can effortlessly track when users are being rate-limited in real-time and receive immediate alerts when rate-limiting events occur.
To begin monitoring rate limiting for users in your Python application using Saashound, follow these simple steps:
Integrating Saashound into your Python application is straightforward. Use the following code snippet to start tracking rate-limiting events for users. Remember to replace API_TOKEN
with your actual Saashound API token and update the project name to match your project.
import jsonimport requests
def log_event(): api_url = 'https://api.saashound.co/log-event' payload = { "project": "my-project", "channel": "user-activity", "event": "User Rate Limited", "description": "User ID 12345 is being rate-limited.", "icon": "⏳", "notify": True # Replace with the appropriate value }
headers = { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Authorization': 'Bearer API_TOKEN' # Replace API_TOKEN with your actual API token }
try: response = requests.post(api_url, data=json.dumps(payload), headers=headers)
if 200 <= response.status_code < 300: print('Log event sent successfully!') else: print('Failed to send log event. Response code:', response.status_code) except requests.exceptions.RequestException as error: print('Error sending log event:', error)
log_event()
