| 1 | +# Rate Limiting |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +Nutgram offers a powerful rate-limiting feature to safeguard your bot from abuse.<br/> |
| 4 | +You can set rate limits for specific handlers, groups, or the entire bot, |
| 5 | +ensuring users can only make a controlled number of requests within a defined time frame. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +:::info |
| 8 | +The rate limiter will run only for updates with the `user.id` and `chat.id` set.<br/> |
| 9 | +This means that the rate limiter will be skipped for updates without these fields. |
| 10 | +::: |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +To apply a rate limiter, use the `throttle` method. |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +**Available Rate Limits** |
| 15 | +- **Handler Rate Limit**: restricts the execution of a specific handler (highest priority). |
| 16 | +- **Group Rate Limit**: restricts the execution of handlers within a specific group. |
| 17 | +- **Global Rate Limit**: restricts the execution of any handler in the bot (lowest priority). |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +:::caution |
| 20 | +- Each call to `throttle` overrides the previous one. |
| 21 | +- The rate limiter follows a hierarchy: **Handler > Group > Global**.<br/> |
| 22 | + This means that a rate limiter applied at the **Handler level** will override any limits set at the **Group** or **Global** level.<br/> |
| 23 | + Similarly, a **Group rate limit** will override a **Global rate limit**, but not a **Handler rate limit**. |
| 24 | +::: |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +## Rate Limiters |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +### Global Rate Limit |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +A global rate limiter can be set once and will apply to all handlers. |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +```php |
| 33 | +$bot = new Nutgram('your-token-here'); |
| 34 | +$bot->throttle(10); |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +$bot->onCommand('start', StartCommand::class); // 10 messages per minute |
| 37 | +$bot->onCommand('help', HelpCommand::class); // 10 messages per minute |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +$bot->run(); |
| 40 | +``` |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +### Group Rate Limit |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +A group rate limiter can be set for a specific group of handlers. |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +```php |
| 47 | +$bot = new Nutgram('your-token-here'); |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +$bot->group(function(Nutgram $bot){ |
| 50 | + $bot->onCommand('start', StartCommand::class); // 3 messages per minute |
| 51 | + $bot->onCommand('help', HelpCommand::class); // 3 messages per minute |
| 52 | +})->throttle(3); |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +$bot->run(); |
| 55 | +``` |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +### Handler Rate Limit |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +A handler rate limiter can be set for a specific handler. |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +```php |
| 63 | +$bot = new Nutgram('your-token-here'); |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +$bot->onCommand('start', StartCommand::class)->throttle(5); // 5 messages per minute |
| 66 | +$bot->onCommand('help', HelpCommand::class)->throttle(5); // 5 messages per minute |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +$bot->run(); |
| 69 | +``` |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +## Throttle Parameters |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +The `throttle` method accepts the following parameters: |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +| Parameter | Type | Default | Description | |
| 76 | +|:----------------|:----------|:--------|:----------------------------------------------------------| |
| 77 | +| maxAttempts | int | | The number of messages allowed in the time frame | |
| 78 | +| decaySeconds | int | 60 | The time frame in seconds | |
| 79 | +| key | ?string | null | A unique key to identify the group for the rate limiter | |
| 80 | +| warningCallback | ?callable | null | A callback to be executed when the rate limit is exceeded | |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +## Skip Rate Limiter |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +You can skip the rate limiter for a specific handler by calling the `withoutThrottle` method. |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +```php |
| 87 | +$bot = new Nutgram('your-token-here'); |
| 88 | +$bot->throttle(5); |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +$bot->onCommand('start', StartCommand::class); // 5 messages per minute |
| 91 | +$bot->onCommand('help', HelpCommand::class)->withoutThrottle(); // No rate limiter |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | +$bot->run(); |
| 94 | +``` |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +## Rate Limit Exceeded |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +When the rate limit is exceeded, the bot will send a message (**once**) to the user with the following text: |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +> Too many messages, please wait a bit. This message will only be sent once until the rate limit is reset. |
| 101 | +
|
| 102 | +If you want to customize this message, you can set your logic in the throttle method: |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | +```php |
| 105 | +$bot = new Nutgram('your-token-here'); |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | +$bot->onCommand('start', StartCommand::class) |
| 108 | + ->throttle(5, warningCallback: function (Nutgram $bot, int $availableIn) { |
| 109 | + $bot->sendMessage("You're sending too many messages. Please wait $availableIn seconds."); |
| 110 | + }); |
| 111 | +``` |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | +## Advanced example |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | +```php |
| 116 | +$bot = new Nutgram('your-token-here'); |
| 117 | +$bot->throttle(4); |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | +$bot->onCommand('start', StartCommand::class); // 4 messages per minute |
| 120 | +$bot->onCommand('help', HelpCommand::class)->throttle(2); // 2 messages per minute |
| 121 | + |
| 122 | +$bot->group(function (Nutgram $bot) { |
| 123 | + |
| 124 | + $bot->onCommand('feedback', FeedbackCommand::class); // 3 messages per minute |
| 125 | + $bot->onCommand('stats', StatsCommand::class)->throttle(2); // 2 messages per minute |
| 126 | + $bot->onCommand('what', WhatCommand::class)->throttle(5); // 5 messages per minute |
| 127 | + |
| 128 | + $bot->group(function (Nutgram $bot) { |
| 129 | + |
| 130 | + $bot->onCommand('settings', SettingsCommand::class); // 2 messages per minute |
| 131 | + $bot->onCommand('donate', DonateCommand::class)->throttle(1); // 1 message per minute |
| 132 | + $bot->onCommand('refund', RefundCommand::class)->throttle(3); // 3 messages per minute |
| 133 | + |
| 134 | + })->throttle(2); |
| 135 | + |
| 136 | +})->throttle(3); |
| 137 | + |
| 138 | +``` |
