+# API Routes Rate Limiting Example
+
+This example uses `lru-cache` to implement a simple rate limiter for API routes ([Serverless Functions](https://vercel.com/docs/serverless-functions/introduction)).
+
+**Demo: https://nextjs-rate-limit.vercel.app/**
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:3000/api/user -I
+HTTP/1.1 200 OK
+X-RateLimit-Limit: 10
+X-RateLimit-Remaining: 9
+
+curl http://localhost:3000/api/user -I
+HTTP/1.1 429 Too Many Requests
+X-RateLimit-Limit: 10
+X-RateLimit-Remaining: 0
+```
+
+## Deploy your own
+
+Deploy the example using [Vercel](https://vercel.com):

+[![Deploy with Vercel](https://vercel.com/button)](https://vercel.com/import/project?template=https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/api-routes-rate-limit)
+
+## How to use
+
+Execute [`create-next-app`](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/packages/create-next-app) with [npm](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/init) or [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/cli/create/) to bootstrap the example:
+
+```bash
+npx create-next-app --example api-routes api-routes-rate-limit
+# or
+yarn create next-app --example api-routes api-routes-rate-limit
+```
