## Introduction

An efficient implementation of a rate limiter for asyncio.

This project implements the [Leaky bucket algorithm][], giving you precise control over the rate a code section can be entered:

```python
from aiolimiter import AsyncLimiter

# allow for 100 concurrent entries within a 30 second window
rate_limit = AsyncLimiter(100, 30)

async def some_coroutine():
    async with rate_limit:
        # this section is *at most* going to entered 100 times
        # in a 30 second period.
        await do_something()
```

It was first developed [as an answer on Stack Overflow][so45502319].

## Documentation

https://aiolimiter.readthedocs.io

## Installation

```sh
$ pip install aiolimiter
```

The library requires Python 3.10 or newer.

## Requirements

- Python >= 3.10

## License

`aiolimiter` is offered under the [MIT license](./LICENSE.txt).

## Source code

The project is hosted on [GitHub][].

Please file an issue in the [bug tracker][] if you have found a bug
or have some suggestions to improve the library.

## Developer setup

This project uses [uv][] to manage dependencies, testing and releases. Make sure you have installed that tool, then run the following command to get set up:

```sh
uv sync
```

Tests are run with `pytest` and `tox`. Releases are made managed by a GitHub Actions workflow. Code quality is maintained with `ruff` and `pyright`, and `prek` runs quick checks to maintain the standards set.

A [Taskfile](https://taskfile.dev/) is provided that defines specific tasks such as linting, formatting or previewing the documentation:
