💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'Remaining' instead of 'Limit' will set the wrong header.

Using 'Reset' or 'Count' are not standard rate limit headers.

The X-RateLimit-Limit header specifies the maximum number of requests allowed.

Complete the code to add the X-RateLimit-Remaining header with the remaining requests count.

Rest API

response.headers['X-RateLimit-[1]'] = str(remaining_requests)

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'Limit' will show the total allowed, not the remaining.

Using 'Reset' is for the time when the limit resets, not the count.

The X-RateLimit-Remaining header shows how many requests are left before the limit resets.

Fix the error in setting the X-RateLimit-Reset header with the reset time in seconds.

Rest API

response.headers['X-RateLimit-[1]'] = str(reset_time)

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'Limit' or 'Remaining' will not convey the reset time.

Using 'Count' is not a standard rate limit header.

The X-RateLimit-Reset header tells when the rate limit will reset, usually in seconds since epoch.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to set the X-RateLimit-Limit and X-RateLimit-Remaining headers correctly.

Rest API

response.headers['X-RateLimit-[1]'] = str(max_requests)
response.headers['X-RateLimit-[2]'] = str(remaining_requests)

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Swapping the header names will cause incorrect rate limit info.

Using 'Reset' or 'Count' here is incorrect.

Use Limit for the max allowed requests and Remaining for how many are left.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to set X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, and X-RateLimit-Reset headers properly.

Rest API

response.headers['X-RateLimit-[1]'] = str(max_requests)
response.headers['X-RateLimit-[2]'] = str(remaining_requests)
response.headers['X-RateLimit-[3]'] = str(reset_time)

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Mixing up the header names will confuse clients about their rate limits.

Using 'Count' is not a recognized rate limit header.

These headers communicate the max requests allowed, how many remain, and when the limit resets.
