​

Notes

• Request body must be an object with endpointRateLimitList array (even for single endpoint)
• apiProxyName is the API Proxy name
• endpointName is the endpoint path (e.g., “/users”), not including HTTP method
• endpointHTTPMethod is the HTTP method (e.g., “GET”, “POST”)
• If endpointName is “ALL”, endpointHTTPMethod should also be “ALL” or can be omitted
• If endpointHTTPMethod is “ALL”, endpointName should also be “ALL” or can be omitted
• endpointId is automatically resolved from endpointName and endpointHTTPMethod (not sent in request)
• Duplicate endpoints are ignored (not added twice)
• Endpoints are added to the existing list

​

Notes and Warnings

• Request Body Format:
  • Request body must be an object with endpointRateLimitList array
  • Even for single endpoint, use object format with array inside
• API Proxy Name:
  • Use API Proxy name in apiProxyName
  • API Proxy must exist in the project
• Endpoint Name and Method:
  • endpointName is the endpoint path (e.g., “/users”), not including HTTP method
  • endpointHTTPMethod is the HTTP method (e.g., “GET”, “POST”, “PUT”, “DELETE”)
  • Use “ALL” for both endpointName and endpointHTTPMethod to apply to all endpoints
  • Both endpointName and endpointHTTPMethod are required for specific endpoints
• Duplicate Handling:
  • Duplicate endpoints are ignored
  • No error is thrown for duplicates
• RLCL Must Exist:
  • RLCL must exist before adding endpoints
