rate limiting http proxy server for JSON-based services.
Features
- HMAC signed keys require no key database for validation.
- Organization ID, Application ID, expiration date, and credit limit can be embedded in keys.
- Translate JSONP requests to non-JSONP requests on the backend.
- Strip cache busting headers and query params.
- Count credits based on IP address or key.
- Provide /credit.json for credits remaining, limit and reset times.
