Requirements

• Procedural client: Python version 2.7 or newer.
• Twisted client: Python version 2.7 (does not support Python 3) and the Twisted package.

Usage

Procedural client example:

from divvy import DivvyClient

client = DivvyClient("localhost", 8321)
resp = client.check_rate_limit(method="GET", path="/pantry/cookies")
if resp.is_allowed:
	print("Request is within the rate limit: {}".format(resp))
else:
	print("Request exceeds the rate limit: {}".format(resp))

Twisted client example:

from divvy.twisted import DivvyClient


def handle_divvy_response(resp):
	if resp.is_allowed:
		print("Request is within the rate limit: {}".format(resp))
	else:
		print("Request exceeds the rate limit: {}".format(resp))

client = DivvyClient("localhost", 8321)
d = client.check_rate_limit(method="GET", path="/pantry/cookies")
d.addCallback(handle_divvy_response)

Building and testing

pip install requirements.txt  # only needed in the build/test phase
find . -name "*.py" | xargs pycodestyle
pylint -E *.py divvy tests
python -m unittest discover tests/

Other Features

Benchmarking

Benchmark the client -- and your Divvy server -- with the included benchmark.py. Run with -h for comprehensive help. You don't need any special Divvy configuration to run the benchmark, but if you want to simulate a real environment, add this stanza to Divvy's config.ini:

[type=benchmark ip=*]
creditLimit = 5
resetSeconds = 60
actorField = ip
comment = 'for benchmark.py, 5 requests per minute, by IP'
