Overview

Limits the number of microflow calls within a period of time per second. 

- The limit can be set by a Decimal per second by the constant RateLimit  or as a parameter of this action

- If the RatelimitQueueName is provided it works as a pool. In this case, you can manage multiple ratelimits

- Cannot be run in a TaskQueue (Mx9) directly. Create a microflow that runs in a Task Queue and call this Java action :)

- Returns an object

- Useful when API's throttle the amount of calls that you use in Mendix (like Exact, Strava, Spotify etc)

Documentation

Ratelimiter Limits the number of microflow calls within a period of time per second.

Features:

• The limit can be set by a Decimal per second by the constant RateLimit or as a parameter of this action
• If the LimitSize is provided it works as a pool, so if you provide 5 then all the actions you call with LimitSize 5 use that pool. In this case, you can manage multiple ratelimits

Limitations:

• Cannot be run in a TaskQueue (Mx9) directly. Create a microflow that runs in a Task Queue and call this Java action :)
