aiothrottles 0.1.0rc1

Usage

Throttle implements a rate limiting for asyncio task. A throttle can be used to guarantee limited access to a shared resources.

The preferred way to use a Throttle is an async with statement:

throttle = Throttle('3/s')

# ... later
async with throttle:
    # access shared state

which is equivalent to:

throttle  = Throttle('3/s')

# ... later
await throttle.acquire()
try:
    # access shared state
finally:
    throttle.release()

A call rate is determined by the rate argument. Pass the rate in the following formats:

• "{integer limit}/{unit time}"

• "{limit's numerator}/{limit's denominator}{unit time}"

Examples:

• 4/s, 5/m, 6/h, 7/d

• 1/second, 2/minute, 3/hour, 4/day

• 1/3s, 12/37m, 1/5h, 8/3d
