Unable to rate-limit on arg/kwarg value

[schinckel]

Is it possible to rate-limit on the value of an arg/kwarg coming from the URL router?

For instance, I have a view send_sms_notification that has user_id as an arg/kwarg, rather than in the POST keys.

def send_sms_notification(request, user_id):
    if user.can_send_sms_to(user_id):
        send_sms_to(user_id, request.POST.get('data'))

(That's not real code, just an analog to what I have).

The user_id in that context is not the logged in user, but another user. It's not available in the request.POST. Is it possible to use these type of values as keys?

Aha! When using a callable, the second argument is the view object (at least, in the case of my CBV), and we can reference that.

Congrats! I guess the issue can be closed :)
