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.
