Examples of using the system

User management of fines accrual is implemented in the add_fine API method. Due to the high flexibility of the fines system, there are several ways to apply this method, for example:

• Blocking an IP address by passing the following values to the add_fine API method:
  • Fine with a value of 100 (fine).
  • Desired blocking time (ttl).
  • IP address to be blocked (ip_list).

Traffic from this IP address will not be allowed to the protected resource for the specified period of time.

• Allowing all traffic from a certain IP address to the protected resource by passing the following values to the add_fine API method:
  • Fine with a value of -100 (fine).
  • Desired blocking time (ttl).
  • IP address from which the traffic must be allowed (ip_list).

Traffic from this IP address will be allowed to the protected resource for the specified period of time.
