2.3 Configure API Quotas

Starting from version 1.1 the API-Developer has the ability to control the System- and Application-Default-Quota for his API directly in the API-Contract.

Please note, that API-Method specific quotas are not yet supported. Hence method must be "*".

To add quota configuration to the API-Contract the following can be added to the contract:

{
   "name":"My API with some Quotas",
   "path":"/v1/my/api",
   "state":"published",
   "version":"1.0.1",
   "organization":"API Development",
   "applicationQuota":{
      "restrictions":[
         {
            "method":"*",
            "type":"throttlemb",
            "config":{
               "period":"hour",
               "mb":50,
               "per":1
            }
         }
      ]
   },
   "systemQuota":{
      "restrictions":[
         {
            "method":"*",
            "type":"throttle",
            "config":{
               "period":"minutes",
               "messages":100,
               "per":30
            }
         }
      ]
   }
}

method: For now it must be "*", later options will be added to define method level quotas.
type: throttle for the number of message or throttlemb for number of Mega-Byte
period: Must be either [second|minute|hour|day|week]
