The steps below show how to engage a throttling policy to an API.

Tip
Tip: For a description of throttling, see Throttling Tiers.

Write your throttling policy. For example, the following sample throttling policy points to a backend service and allows 1000 concurrent requests to a service.

<wsp:Policy xmlns:wsp="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/09/policy"
xmlns:wsu="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd"

            wsu:Id="WSO2MediatorThrottlingPolicy">
    <throttle:MediatorThrottleAssertion>
        <throttle:MaximumConcurrentAccess>1000</throttle:MaximumConcurrentAccess>
        <wsp:Policy>
            <throttle:ID throttle:type="IP">other</throttle:ID>           
        </wsp:Policy>
    </throttle:MediatorThrottleAssertion>
</wsp:Policy>

Log in to the API Manager's management console ( https://localhost:9443/carbon ) and click the Resource > Browse menu to view the registry.
Click the /_system/goverence/apimgt/applicationdata path to go to its detailed view.

In the detail view, click the Add Resource link.

Upload the policy file to the server as a registry resource .
In the management console, select the Service Bus > Source View menu.

The configurations of all APIs created in the API Manager instance opens. To engage the policy to a selected API, add it to your API definition. In this example, we add it to the login API.

<api xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse" name="_WSO2AMLoginAPI_" context="/login">
    <resource methods="POST" url-mapping="/*">
        <inSequence>
            <send>
                <endpoint>
                    <address uri="https://localhost:9493/oauth2/token"/>
                </endpoint>
            </send>
        </inSequence>
        <outSequence>
            <send/>
        </outSequence>
    </resource>
    <handlers>
 <handler class="org.wso2.carbon.apimgt.gateway.handlers.throttling.APIThrottleHandler">
       <property name="id" value="A"/>
       <property name="policyKey" value="gov:/apimgt/applicationdata/throttle.xml"/>
       </handler> 
<handler class="org.wso2.carbon.apimgt.gateway.handlers.ext.APIManagerExtensionHandler"/>
    </handlers>
</api>

Note
Note: Be sure to specify the same path used in step 5 in the policy key of your API definition. Also, use the same tier name you selected when creating the API as the throttle id in the policy (example <throttle:ID throttle:type ="ROLE">Gold</throttle:ID>.)

You have successfully engaged a throttling policy to an API.
