"Traditional approaches to rate limiting APIs won’t work effectively for AI agent consumers, so some API providers have shifted to adaptive rate limiting (ARL). For example, DeepSeek employs a more dynamic and adaptive approach to rate limiting its API compared to other LLM API providers currently.
The concept of adaptive rate limiting isn’t new, but it’s evolving to address new API usage scenarios that include AI agents. Modern ARL involves a set of principles, tools, and techniques that allow systems to adjust rate limits dynamically based on context and real-time insights. It includes a combination of approaches:"

@mikemcquaid yes, in my somewhat recent career past, the answer was a resounding YES! driven by architecture astronauts who didn’t have to worry about success.
On the upside, I learned a shit-ton about: a) #golang b) #apidesign, c) #testing, and d) #devops.

You should configure #HTTP #caching for your #API, so you can reduce the number of requests, which increases performance and reduces resource usage. @Philsturgeon argues that designing for cacheability should be an integral part of #APIDesign: https://apisyouwonthate.com/blog/api-design-basics-cacheability/

New post: Making Your API Feel Like Home
If your API looks & feels like the rest of the ecosystem, it is easier to learn and harder to misuse.

API caching can save servers some serious work, cut down on costs, and even help reduce the carbon impact of an API. However, it is often considered an optimization rather than what it truly is: an integral part of API design. #ApiDesign #GreenTech https://apisyouwonthate.com/blog/api-design-basics-cacheability/

"API keys are foundational elements for authentication, but relying solely on them is inherently a risky proposal.
Firstly, there’s the reality that API keys are not securely designed — they were never meant to be used as the sole form of authentication, and as such, they aren’t really built for the task. These keys can often be easily stolen, leaked, or, in some cases (especially if generated incrementally), outright guessed. An API key is suitable for tracking usage but is poor for security.
There is also the additional reality that keys in their default state lack some critical functionality. There’s not a lot of verification built-in for identity management, and what does exist offers very little in the way of granular access control.
Ultimately, solely relying on API keys is a mistake common with novice developers but frighteningly common even in advanced products.
Best Practices
Instead of relying heavily on API keys as a sole mechanism, combine those keys with additional approaches such as OAuth 2.0 or mTLS. Implement rigorous expiration and rotation policies to ensure that keys which are made public are only useful for a short amount of time. Consider more advanced approaches, such as IP whitelisting or device fingerprinting, to add another layer of security atop the API key process."
