It lets you specify a maximum number of concurrent entries into a code section within a given time window, which is useful for controlling how fast async operations execute\u2014for example, limiting API calls, database queries, or other I/O-bound tasks.\n\nThe package is a pure Python implementation with no external runtime dependencies, making it lightweight and easy to integrate. It's designed for developers building asyncio applications who need fine-grained control over concurrency and throughput without adding complexity or external service dependencies.","worth_installing":"Yes. aiolimiter is a lightweight, actively maintained rate-limiting tool with no dependencies, permissive licensing, and broad Python version support. It solves a common problem in asyncio applications with a proven algorithm and straightforward API. Install it if you need to control concurrency or throughput in async code."},"id":"aiolimiter","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aiolimiter","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aiolimiter.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/aiolimiter/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-12-08","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"aiolimiter","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"asyncio rate limiter, a leaky bucket implementation"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":12500767,"position":1316,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.2.1"}
