  1. Start simple.

    • Use the concept of API keys(Lets say its a guid mapped to a domain or an account).
    • Every time your API is hit take that key and increment its corresponding counter.
    • Write rules to limit based on your counter(in this case hours)
    • Reset.

    Blocking by IP is not advisable.NAT being the problem
