[Python] How to apply a global rate limit for all routes using SlowAPI and FastAPI?

I want to configure Rate Limiting with SlowAPI (in-memory without Redis Cache etc.), but I don't want to add the @limiter.limit() decorator seperately for every endpoint. So something I don't want to do manually would be:

@limiter.limit("5/minute")
async def myendpoint(request: Request)
pass


So essentially, I want to include it to a middleware:

from slowapi import Limiter

limiter = Limiter(key_func=get_remote_address)

@app.middleware("http")
async def check_request(request: Request, call_next):
client_ip = request.client.host
prefix = "request_rate_limiter." + client_ip

#... (logic from slowapi to get allowed flag)
if allowed:
response = await call_next(request)
return response



But I didn't find a solution how to receive a boolean from the limiter

How would I proceed from this and does this work?

It would be great if I could configure it for different routes and also for example depending on a user subscription (e.g. free/premium).

Thanks!
