Match the following types of rate limiting with their descriptions:
Hard rate limiting = Prevents users from making any more requests to the API after they have reached their rate limit Soft rate limiting = Allows users to continue making requests to the API after they have reached their rate limit, but they may experience a decrease in performance or be charged additional fees
Match the following reasons for rate limiting with their descriptions:
To protect the API from abuse = Rate limiting can help to prevent malicious actors from flooding the API with requests, which can cause the API to become unavailable to legitimate users To ensure that the API remains performant = Rate limiting can help to ensure that the API can handle a high volume of requests without becoming overwhelmed To prevent excessive usage charges = Rate limiting can help users to avoid excessive usage charges by limiting the number of requests that they can make to the API in a given period of time
Match the following benefits of rate limiting with their descriptions:
Improved overall performance = Rate limiting can help to improve the overall performance and reliability of the API Protection against abuse = Rate limiting can help to protect the API from abuse by preventing malicious actors from flooding the API with requests Avoidance of excessive usage charges = Rate limiting can help users to avoid excessive usage charges by limiting the number of requests that they can make to the API
Match the following API usage scenarios with the appropriate type of rate limiting:
User can't make any more requests after reaching the limit, no matter what = Hard rate limiting User can continue making requests after reaching the limit, but with decreased performance or additional fees = Soft rate limiting
Match the following API protection measures with their descriptions:
Rate limiting = A common practice among API providers to protect their APIs and ensure that they remain performant and reliable for all users API flooding prevention = One of the reasons for rate limiting, as it can cause the API to become unavailable to legitimate users Excessive usage charges prevention = Rate limiting can help users to avoid excessive usage charges by limiting the number of requests that they can make to the API
Match the following API performance improvement measures with their descriptions:
Rate limiting = Can help to ensure that the API can handle a high volume of requests without becoming overwhelmed Overall performance improvement = One of the benefits of rate limiting, as it can help to improve the overall performance and reliability of the API
Match the following API usage scenarios with the appropriate type of rate limiting:
User can't make any more requests after reaching the limit, no matter what = Hard rate limiting User can continue making requests after reaching the limit, but with decreased performance or additional fees = Soft rate limiting
Match the following API protection measures with their descriptions:
Rate limiting = A common practice among API providers to protect their APIs and ensure that they remain performant and reliable for all users API flooding prevention = One of the reasons for rate limiting, as it can cause the API to become unavailable to legitimate users Excessive usage charges prevention = Rate limiting can help users to avoid excessive usage charges by limiting the number of requests that they can make to the API
Match the following API performance improvement measures with their descriptions:
Rate limiting = Can help to ensure that the API can handle a high volume of requests without becoming overwhelmed Overall performance improvement = One of the benefits of rate limiting, as it can help to improve the overall performance and reliability of the API
Match the following rate limiting types with their characteristics:
Hard rate limiting = Users cannot make any more requests to the API after reaching their rate limit Soft rate limiting = Users can continue making requests to the API after reaching their rate limit, but with potential performance decrease or additional charges
