[encryptblockr]

I see that there is option to use redis or jwt

can you please elaborate on the difference between each use case?
when using the jwt version, what does that offer?

doc is lacking ready to use examples so hope to get some help here

First of all, you need to have a JWT, its authentication algorithm and the key for authentication.

And then, use jwt_auth = create_jwt_auth("key", "algorithm") to create a authentication function that the parameter for RateLimitMiddleware.

When the request comes in, it will automatically extract the JWT from the request header 'authorization' and try to verify it. Then, RateLimitMiddleware use the "user" and "group" information carried in the JWT to match the rules and try to limit the flow.

mind sharing a "real" example that uses redis and/or jwt that one can follow?
real example will be great here and make things very easy to follow and use

I don't have such a "real example", but I think you can try to use it first, and if there is a problem, you can ask them.

you still havent answered the main question i keep asking

what is difference between the redis and jwt
and what does the jwt offer? compared to the redis?

[encryptblockr]

ended up using https://pypi.org/project/fastapi-limiter/ and it worked like a charm...very fast to implement
you may want to add "real" examples to increase adoption of your package

Maybe I misunderstood. But redis is the back end storage and JWT is the authentication method. These are two completely different aspects of things.

But anyway, it's good that you solved your problem.
