reqlim: Request Limiting Middleware

verified May 27, 2026

reqlim is a Connect/Express middleware designed to limit incoming requests, acting as a direct adaptation of the popular `express-rate-limit` package. Its primary function is to prevent abuse by restricting the number of requests a user can make within a specified timeframe, returning a 429 'Too Many Requests' status when limits are exceeded. Despite its utility, the package remains at an early development stage with version 0.0.0 and has not seen active development since its initial publication over four years ago. This makes it an effectively abandoned project. Developers seeking a stable, actively maintained, and feature-rich rate-limiting solution for Express applications should opt for `express-rate-limit` directly, which served as the inspiration for `reqlim` and offers continuous updates, bug fixes, and better community support, including TypeScript definitions.
