Add logic to prevent server abuse #31

Open jupiter50 opened 7 years ago

Probably more for your Ki app which handles the incoming requests but might be worth adding some logic to prevent server abuse. E.g IP and/or app ID restrictions: IP - a given IP can only make a call X times in Y timeframe App ID - app ID passed through as parameter can only make a call X times in Y timeframe

Maybe a combo of the two as well.

The app ID you can also assign to folks and get them to contribute/pay if they want better access and something you can use to track an app's server usage
