I know and love flask-limiter from older projects. Now I want to use it on my flask-restplus based project.

My ultimate solution would enable me, to do rate limiting on a per method level. So different rates apply to a post than to a get method. But I would already be happy if I could define the limits on a per Resource (or even per Namespace) level. Important is that each resource would need its own rate limit.

My first try was to annotate the methods using @limiter.limit("1 per Minute"). But that is completely ignored.

Next try than is using it on the namespace itself:

ns = api.namespace('something',
    description='Operations related to maps and positions on a map',
    decorators = [limiter.limit("1 Per Minute")]
)

Well, does not work either. But

ns = api.namespace('something',
    description='Operations related to maps and positions on a map',
    decorators = [limiter.limit]
)

does the thing. But leaves one problem open: I can only define one limiter per app. So I can only apply one limit rule to all my namespaces.

Any ideas on how I could make flask-restplus accept the params passed to the limiter-decorator?

Or is there even a better way to manage rate-limiting in flask-resplus that I just did not see?
