Fork of theDanielJLewis/rate-limit-tester. I have replaced request-promise-native(deprecated) with axios and added the capability to make customize the request using config.js (follows same format as axios)

Test or discover the rate limit of any URL with this Node.js script! It will let you test a custom number of requsts per second (default) or per minute starting at an optional minimum to a the maximum, testing each limit for about a minute.

For example, if a URL is rate-limited to 2 requests per second, and you enter a minimum of 1 and maximum of 5, the test will step through as follows.

• 1 request per second for about a minute
• 2 requests per second for about a minute
• Fail during a test sending 3 requests per second

You must have Node.js already installed.

git clone https://github.com/AbhishekBiswal/rate-limit-tester.git
cd rate-limit-tester
npm i

First edit the config.js file. The format is exactly the same as axios then run:

node index.js --max=[NUM] [OPTIONS]

  --version   Show version number                                      [boolean]
  --max       Maximum requests to run per time                        [required]
  --min       Minimum requests to run per time
  -s          Set to requests to second [default]
  -m          Set to requests to minute
  -h, --help  Show help                                                [boolean]
