This package provides a simple throttle controller for general use-cases. For example, you can use this package to throttle API requests to avoid rate-limiting.
from throttle_controller import SimpleThrottleController
throttle = SimpleThrottleController.create(default_cooldown_time=3.0)
throttle.wait_if_needed("http://example.com/path/to/api")
throttle.record_use_time_as_now("http://example.com/path/to/api")
... # requests
throttle.wait_if_needed("http://example.com/path/to/api") # wait 3.0 seconds
throttle.record_use_time_as_now("http://example.com/path/to/api")
from throttle_controller import SimpleThrottleController
throttle = SimpleThrottleController.create(default_cooldown_time=3.0)
for _ in range(10):
with throttle.use("http://example.com/path/to/api"):
# wait if cooldown needed
requests.get("http://example.com/path/to/api")
