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

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 60 requests per minute.

The rate limit functionality uses [transients](https://developer.wordpress.org/apis/transients/)which will use [persistent object cache](https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Object_Cache) if present.

### Headers

[](#headers)

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

HeaderDescription`X-Rate-Limit-Limit`Requests allowed per interval.`X-Rate-Limit-Rules`Default rule set to client "Ip".`X-Rate-Limit-Remaining`Remaining requests that are allowed in the current interval.`X-Rate-Limit-Reset`Seconds until the limit is reset.If a client has reached their limit, an additional header will be sent:

HeaderDescription`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 `interval` & `limit` settings using the simple API from the main plugin instance:
