A comment API using DRF that allows users to submit comments associated with a content URL and list comments per content.

Run unit tests:

python manage.py test

GET /content/

See list of all content

GET /content/<slug>/

See the details for a particular instance of content along with all comments associated with it

GET /comments/

See list of all comments

POST /comments/
{
    "username": "myuser",
    "content_url": "some-url",
    "comment": "this is my first comment"
}

Will create a comment for the content URL "some-url". If that content does not already exist, it will be created automatically.

The API will by default throttle:

• Any user that makes more than 20 requests per minute.
• Any user that tries to post more than 2 comments in a minute.
• Any user that tries to post a comment that exactly matches a comment posted within the last 24 hours.

The defaults for the throttling can be changed by setting env variables and changing the defaults to the values you desire.

EXCESS_COMMENTS_LOCKOUT=300
EXCESS_COMMENTS_RATE=2/minute

DUPLICATE_COMMENT_LOCKOUT=60
DUPLICATE_COMMENT_HOURS=24

DEFAULT_ANON_THROTTLE_RATE=20/minute
DEFAULT_USER_THROTTLE_RATE=20/minute
