We’ve improved our Rate limit/throttling feature.

Once enabled, the rate limit feature was limiting the total number of requests that can be made per hour for a given API key. It was possible to have a user that consumes 10,000 look ups and another 10.

Starting Today, you have a new option to set an invocation limit per client IP and hour. Let’s say you enabled this feature and set 1,000 as a limit. Any client IP will be limited to 1,000 requests per hour.

You can control the feature from the Ipregistry dashboard:

1. Click on “API keys” on the left menu.
2. Select “Edit” for the key you want to alter.
3. In “Throttling / Rate limiting” section, choose “Set invocation limit per client IP and hour”
4. Enter your limit value and save.
