Module serenity::http::ratelimiting

Routes are used for ratelimiting. These are to differentiate between the different types of routes - such as getting the current user's channels - for the most part, with the exception being major parameters.

Taken from the Discord docs, major parameters are:

Additionally, rate limits take into account major parameters in the URL. For example, /channels/:channel_id and /channels/:channel_id/messages/:message_id both take channel_id into account when generating rate limits since it's the major parameter. The only current major parameters are channel_id, guild_id and webhook_id.

This results in the two URIs of GET /channels/4/messages/7 and GET /channels/5/messages/8 being rate limited separately. However, the two URIs of GET /channels/10/messages/11 and GET /channels/10/messages/12 will count towards the "same ratelimit", as the major parameter - 10 is equivalent in both URIs' format.

Examples

First: taking the first two URIs - GET /channels/4/messages/7 and GET /channels/5/messages/8 - and assuming both buckets have a limit of 10, requesting the first URI will result in the response containing a remaining of 9. Immediately after - prior to buckets resetting - performing a request to the second URI will also contain a remaining of 9 in the response, as the major parameter - channel_id - is different in the two requests (4 and 5).

Second: take for example the last two URIs. Assuming the bucket's limit is 10, requesting the first URI will return a remaining of 9 in the response. Immediately after - prior to buckets resetting - performing a request to the second URI will return a remaining of 8 in the response, as the major parameter - channel_id - is equivalent for the two requests (10).

Major parameters are why some variants (i.e. all of the channel/guild variants) have an associated u64 as data. This is the Id of the parameter, differentiating between different ratelimits.
