Request limit in REST API?

Question

PHP

Hello! There was a need to limit requests, for example 40 requests per minute from one IP. I looked in the direction of Nginx rate limiting, but did not understand how to use it in the REST API and return a JSON response with an error. Also looked at PHP + Redis but not sure about its effectiveness

Get familiar with NGINX. This is the easiest way. In PHP, they usually do it if you need to restrict by user or by a specific URI.
