Usage

Read the docs at docs.arcjet.com.

Next.js rate limit example

The Arcjet rate limit example below applies a token bucket rate limit rule to a route where we identify the user based on their ID e.g. if they are logged in. The bucket is configured with a maximum capacity of 10 tokens and refills by 5 tokens every 10 seconds. Each request consumes 5 tokens.

See the Arcjet Next.js rate limit documentation for details.

import arcjet, { tokenBucket } from "@arcjet/next";
import { NextResponse } from "next/server";

const aj = arcjet({
  key: process.env.ARCJET_KEY!, // Get your site key from https://app.arcjet.com
  characteristics: ["userId"], // track requests by a custom user ID
  rules: [
    // Create a token bucket rate limit. Other algorithms are supported.
    tokenBucket({
      mode: "LIVE", // will block requests. Use "DRY_RUN" to log only
      refillRate: 5, // refill 5 tokens per interval
      interval: 10, // refill every 10 seconds
      capacity: 10, // bucket maximum capacity of 10 tokens
    }),
  ],
});

export async function GET(req: Request) {
  const userId = "user123"; // Replace with your authenticated user ID
  const decision = await aj.protect(req, { userId, requested: 5 }); // Deduct 5 tokens from the bucket
  console.log("Arcjet decision", decision);

  if (decision.isDenied()) {
    return NextResponse.json(
      { error: "Too Many Requests", reason: decision.reason },
      { status: 429 },
    );
  }

  return NextResponse.json({ message: "Hello world" });
}

Node.js bot protection example

The Arcjet bot protection example below will return a 403 Forbidden response for all requests from clients we are sure are automated.

See the Arcjet Node.js bot protection documentation for details.

import arcjet, { detectBot } from "@arcjet/node";
import http from "node:http";

const aj = arcjet({
  key: process.env.ARCJET_KEY!, // Get your site key from https://app.arcjet.com
  rules: [
    detectBot({
      mode: "LIVE", // will block requests. Use "DRY_RUN" to log only
      // configured with a list of bots to allow from
      // https://arcjet.com/bot-list
      allow: [], // "allow none" will block all detected bots
    }),
  ],
});

const server = http.createServer(async function (
  req: http.IncomingMessage,
  res: http.ServerResponse,
) {
  const decision = await aj.protect(req);
  console.log("Arcjet decision", decision);

  if (decision.isDenied()) {
    res.writeHead(403, { "Content-Type": "application/json" });
    res.end(JSON.stringify({ error: "Forbidden" }));
  } else {
    res.writeHead(200, { "Content-Type": "application/json" });
    res.end(JSON.stringify({ message: "Hello world" }));
  }
});

server.listen(8000);
