+## Rate Limiting
+
+Laravel includes a [middleware](/docs/{{version}}/middleware) to rate limit access to routes within your application. To get started, assign the `throttle` middleware to a route or a group of routes. The `throttle` middleware accepts two parameters that determine the maximum number of requests that can be made in a given number of minutes. For example, let's specify that an authenticated user may access the following group of routes 60 times per minute:
+
+    Route::middleware('auth:api', 'throttle:60,1')->group(function () {
+        Route::get('/user', function () {
+            //
+        });
+    });
