[HTTP Client Rate Limits for Laravel](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/http-client-rate-limits-for-laravel.md)

# Installation

Require the package. The service provider is auto-discovered — no manual registration, and no configuration is needed to start:

```bash
composer require roundly-consulting/http-client-rate-limits-for-laravel
```

The config file is optional — every key has a default. Publish it only to define named profiles or change the store, deferrer or events:

```bash
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="http-client-rate-limits-config"
```

## Database store migration

Only if you use the DatabaseStore, publish and run its migration. It creates the http\_client\_rate\_limits hits table and the http\_client\_rate\_limit\_owners table the store locks and keeps adaptive penalties in:

```bash
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="http-client-rate-limits-migrations"
php artisan migrate
```

The migration is not loaded automatically — php artisan migrate only creates the tables once you have published it into your app’s database/migrations. Publishing again is idempotent: it overwrites the file it already placed instead of adding a second copy.
