You want to apply different throttle rates for authenticated and anonymous users in Django REST Framework. Which approach correctly implements this?
ASet a single throttle class with rate '10/minute' and check user status inside get_cache_key
BUse middleware to block anonymous users after 5 requests per minute instead of throttling classes
CApply throttling only to authenticated users by setting throttle_classes conditionally in the view
DUse two throttle classes: one with 'user' scope for authenticated, one with 'anon' scope for anonymous, and add both to the view's throttle_classes
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Understand throttling for different user types

    Django REST Framework supports multiple throttle classes to handle different user types separately.

  3. Final Answer:

    Use two throttle classes: one with 'user' scope for authenticated, one with 'anon' scope for anonymous, and add both to the view's throttle_classes -> Option D

  4. Quick Check:

    Multiple throttle classes handle user types separately [OK]
Quick Trick: Use separate throttle classes for user and anon [OK]
