Class RateLimiter

Implements token bucket rate limiting for API calls.

Remarks

Prevents API throttling by limiting requests per time window. Uses sliding window algorithm for smooth rate limiting without burst spikes at window boundaries.

Example

const limiter = new RateLimiter({
  requestsPerWindow: 100,
  windowMs: 60000 // 100 requests per minute
});

// Check before making request
if (await limiter.checkLimit()) {
  await makeApiCall();
} else {
  await limiter.waitForSlot();
  await makeApiCall();
}
