Prevent from hitting Google Safe API limit

[abhijithvijayan]

kutt.it redirects with 429

Yeah same issue here, {"error":"Request failed with status code 429"}.

429 status code is for Too Many Requests, so it's likely that there is some rate limiting going on for whatever reason.

cant create links with the extension. previous links work.

Yes, sorry it's for Google Safe API limit, seems like some spammers tried to abuse Kutt. I'm gonna find a way to prevent them from doing so in future.

@poeti8 why not using some honeypot?

[Couto]

Just as an idea and I haven't checked the code to see if this is implemented, but Google Safe results could be cached in redis, this way duplicated urls would avoid hitting the API for a certain time (defined in the cache).

@poeti8 do you know if the attacks were all with the same URL? If not we'd have to think of something smarter

[TheCapsLock]

Why not just stop hitting google at all ?
