datasette-ip-rate-limit 0.1a0

Release: datasette-ip-rate-limit 0.1a0

The datasette.io site was being hammered by poorly-behaved crawlers, so I had Codex (GPT-5.5 xhigh) build a configurable rate limiting plugin to block IPs that were hammering specific areas of the site too quickly.

Here's the production configuration I'm using on that site for the new plugin:

  datasette-ip-rate-limit:
    header: Fly-Client-IP
    max_keys: 10000
    exempt_paths:
    - "/static/*"
    - "/-/turnstile*"
    rules:
    - name: demo-databases
      paths:
      - "/global-power-plants/*"
      - "/legislators/*"
      window_seconds: 60
      max_requests: 60
      block_seconds: 20
