An API has a rate limit based upon the number of hits from a certain IP address.
My requests are AJAX – so they’re performed by a javascript living somewhere on a page.
Does the IP being rate limited appear as the client’s or the site’s?

Since javascript is executed client side (aka in the browser) the request will show the client’s IP (or any proxy).
