Add rate limiting for compression

**Description**
Currently api lacks proper compression support.

**Proposed solution**
Add configurable compression with sensible defaults.

**Priority**: Low/Medium

Start by locating the API entry point and existing request/response handling, then inspect how configuration is defined. Clarify whether the intended change is compression support, rate limiting for compression, or both; done should include configurable behavior with documented sensible defaults and verification that the API applies it correctly.
