Deno Unkey Ratelimit Starter

This is a minimal starter template showcasing how to use Unkey with Deno version 2 for rate limiting in a web server built with the oak framework.

Features

• Rate Limiting: Use Unkey's powerful rate-limiting features to throttle requests based on identifiers like IP address, user ID, or custom logic.
• Deno v2 Compatibility: Built for Deno version 2 with native support for TypeScript and modern JavaScript.
• Oak Framework: A middleware framework similar to Express, built specifically for Deno.
• Environment Variables: Securely manage sensitive data like API keys using Deno's environment variables.

Setup and Installation

1. Clone the repository

1git clone https://github.com/Devansh-Baghel/deno-unkey-ratelimit-starter.git
2cd deno-unkey-ratelimit-starter

2. Set up environment variables

Copy the .env.example file to .env file in the root directory and add your Unkey root key:

1cp .env.example .env

3. Run your server

1deno task start

Usage

Public Route

• GET /: A simple welcome message.

Protected Route (Rate Limited)

• GET /secret: This route is protected by Unkey's rate-limiting feature. After hitting the rate limit (2 requests in 30 seconds), you'll receive a 429 Too Many Requests response.
