# Release: datasette-ip-rate-limit 0.1a0 Source: [https://simonwillison.net/2026/May/14/datasette-ip-rate-limit/](https://simonwillison.net/2026/May/14/datasette-ip-rate-limit/) The[datasette\.io](https://datasette.io/)site was being hammered by poorly\-behaved crawlers, so I had Codex \(GPT\-5\.5 xhigh\) build a configurable rate limiting plugin to block IPs that were hammering specific areas of the site too quickly\. Here's[the production configuration](https://github.com/simonw/datasette.io/blob/b6022bf9987661b94a26d3143028193a6cabfdcf/datasette.yml#L103-L116)I'm using on that site for the new plugin: ``` datasette-ip-rate-limit: header: Fly-Client-IP max_keys: 10000 exempt_paths: - "/static/*" - "/-/turnstile*" rules: - name: demo-databases paths: - "/global-power-plants/*" - "/legislators/*" window_seconds: 60 max_requests: 60 block_seconds: 20 ```
