Throttling

Some plugins call external providers that embedded API limitations. Because some plugins have trouble handling errors when limits are reached, we may want to reduce plugin calls before reaching those limits.

Using Throttlings, you can limit usage of a given plugin version, in 3 different ways :

  • Rate limit : you can limit the number of calls by second, by using max_qps field.

  • Concurrency : you can limit the number of simultaneous calls, by using max_concurrency field.

  • Timeout : you can define a maximum duration for the calls, by using timeout_qps field.

You have to define at least one of those restrictions.

Throttling can be defined at 4 different levels :

  • GLOBAL

  • CONTAINER

  • ORGANISATION

  • DATAMART

You can define a Throttling using this route :

Create a throttling

POST https://api.mediarithmics.com/v1/plugins/:plugin_id/versions/:version_id/throttlings

Request Body

NameTypeDescription

scope*

String

Define the application scope of the Throttling. Possible values : GLOBAL, CONTAINER, DATAMART or ORGANISATION.

plugin_version_id*

String

The ID of the plugin version.

throttling_key

String

Is equals to the datamart id if the scope is DATAMART or the organisation id if the scope is ORGANISATION.

max_concurrency

Integer

The maximum number of simultaneous calls to the end_point.

max_qps

Double

The maximum number of calls to the end_point by second. It can be decimal, 0.5 means : maximum 1 call every 2 seconds.

plugin_endpoint*

String

The plugin routes affected by this throttling. Exemple : /v1/user_segment_update

timeout_ms

Integer

The call to the endpoint is killed if it lasts more than this duration (in ms).

{
    // Response
}

You can list, delete or update Throttlings by using thoses routes :

{
    // Response
}

Delete a throttling

DELETE https://api.mediarithmics.com/v1/plugins/:plugin_id/versions/:version_id/throttlings/:throttling_id

{
    // Response
}
