Description
Suggestion is to adopt a [Rack Attack](https://github.com/kickstarter/rack-attack) configuration that allows to control request limiting per `Apicasso::Key`.
This project was designed to have this feature implemented based on JSON rule present on the `.request_limit` field on all `Apicasso::Key` object. The suggested format is:
```
{
limit: # AN ALL AROUND REQUEST LIMITING,
period: # AN ALL AROUND PERIOD FOR REQUEST THROTTLING,
<% paths.each do |path| %>
<%= path %>: {
limit: # A REQUEST LIMITING FOR A SPECIFIC PATH,
period: # A PERIOD FOR REQUEST THROTTLING FOR A SPECIFIC PATH
}
<% end %>
}
```
Please note this code example is just for the sake of explanation. This would make APIcasso have global and per-path request limiting, all based on which key is being used for the request. A feature like this would enable for API monetizing based on request quota selling
