WP REST Cop
===========

[](#wp-rest-cop)

Manage access to the WP REST API with rate limits and IP-based rules.

**Contributors:** [Brady Vercher](https://github.com/bradyvercher)**Requires:** WP 4.4+, PHP 5.4+ **Tested up to:** 4.4 **License:** [GPL-2.0+](http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html)

Rate Limits
-----------

[](#rate-limits)

Rate limits allow for configuring the number of requests a client can make within a certain interval. The default in *WP Rest Cop* is 500 requests per hour.

The rate limit functionality requires a [persistent object cache](https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Object_Cache).

### Headers

[](#headers)

A few headers are sent with every request so clients can keep track of their current limit:

  Header Description    `X-RateLimit-Limit` Requests allowed per interval.   `X-RateLimit-Remaining` Remaining requests allowed in the current interval.   `X-RateLimit-Reset` Seconds until the limit is reset.  If client has reached their limit, an additional header will be sent.

  Header Description    `Retry-After` Seconds until the limit is reset  Clients may send a `HEAD` request to view their current limit without ticking the meter.

### Configuring Settings

[](#configuring-settings)

Configure the default `limit` and `interval` settings using the simple API from the main plugin instance:
