Rate limit plugin

[yurirnascimento]

Hi,

One of my needs is to be able to use a request rate limit, because normally my jobs run for long periods but need to respect the API's request limit.

I'm creating a plugin to use the Spatie/GuzzleRateLimiterMIddleware

Would it be useful to anyone else?

Yes, this would be great! I wonder if community made plugins could be released as standalone packages. Is this something you would be up for building?

[yurirnascimento]

This would be a useful plugin for me, so I could mantain it, what do you think?

[Sammyjo20]

If you are happy to, I would add it to a list of community driven plugins for Saloon.

Just a suggestion, it would be cool if the plugin also added two methods to "set" and "get" from a cache, so it would be really easy for Laravel users to hook it up to their Laravel app's cache

I'll probably do something simple, and expose the API for the user to customize as needed.

Sounds good. Looking forward to seeing it.

Just a thought, I need a rate limiter in Laravel, but I'd probably prefer if it threw an exception that I can catch in my job and delay it by X amount of seconds that the API replies with. Maybe that's something to consider in another plugin? Like a back-off plugin that uses Laravel Cache to determine if a rate limit has been exceeded

Hi, I'm still on it, I'll be back soon with news.

Sounds good @yurirnascimento no pressure on my side, take your time. Looking forward to seeing it.
