Issue #10: Implement Rate Limiting

Description

Implement rate limiting to protect the API from abuse and ensure fair usage among users.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Configure rate limiting middleware
  • Define rate limits for different endpoints
  • Add logging for rate limit violations
  • Allow configuration of limits via environment variables
  • Ensure legitimate users are not affected by limits

Tasks

  • Install and configure express-rate-limit middleware
  • Define default rate limits
  • Implement configurable limits via .env file
  • Add logging for rate limit hits
  • Test rate limiting functionality

Notes

This issue addresses the need to protect the API from abuse through rate limiting. The implementation will use express-rate-limit middleware to configure different rate limits for various endpoints, with configuration via environment variables to allow easy adjustment without code changes.
