Workers Rate Limiting
Teaches how to implement and configure the Rate Limiting API in Cloudflare Workers using bindings to enforce custom limits based on user IDs, API routes, or customer tiers.
When To Use
Use when you need to implement custom rate limiting logic within a Worker to protect specific API routes or differentiate limits between free and paid users.

What This Skill Covers
- The Rate Limiting API lets you define rate limits and write code around them in your Worker.
- Main sections:
Get started,Configuration,Best practices,Locality,Performance.
Workflow
- Open the most relevant file under
docs/for the exact documented workflow and wording. - Open
schemas/files for exact structured contracts. - Open
examples/files for concrete requests, commands, snippets, and manifests. - Do not add behavior or configuration that is not present in the attached source files.
