Rate limiting is a critical technique employed in many Swift 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 Swift 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 Swift application using Saashound, follow these simple steps:
Integrating Saashound into your Swift 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 Foundation
func logEvent() { let apiUrl = URL(string: "https://api.saashound.co/log-event")!
var request = URLRequest(url: apiUrl) request.httpMethod = "POST" request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type") request.addValue("Bearer API_TOKEN", forHTTPHeaderField: "Authorization")
let payload: [String: Any] = [ "project": "my-project", "channel": "user-activity", "event": "User Rate Limited", "description": "User ID 12345 is being rate-limited.", "icon": "âł", "notify": true ]
do { request.httpBody = try JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: payload, options: [])
let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) { data, response, error in if let response = response as? HTTPURLResponse { if 200...299 ~= response.statusCode { print("Log event sent successfully!") } else { print("Failed to send log event. Response code:", response.statusCode) } } else if let error = error { print("Error sending log event:", error.localizedDescription) } }
task.resume() } catch { print("Error serializing payload:", error.localizedDescription) }}
