**What's your setup?** Before I write anything, I need to know: 1. **How do you identify users?** — API key in header, JWT, IP address, session? 2. **What limit do you want?** — e.g. 10 requests/minute per user? 3. **Do you have Redis?** — If yes, limits survive restarts and work across multiple workers. If no, in-memory is simpler but resets on restart and doesn't share across processes. 4. **Paste the endpoint** — I'll add the limiter exactly where it belongs, not as a generic example. --- While you answer: the fastest path if you have no Redis and just want IP-based limiting is [`slowapi`](https://github.com/laurents/slowapi) (a thin wrapper around `limits`, built for FastAPI). Two lines on the endpoint, one line of setup. Already installed in many FastAPI projects. If you **do** have Redis and need it to survive restarts or you're running multiple workers, I'll use `limits` with a Redis backend directly, or show you a one-function dependency you can `Depends()` onto any route. --- **Skipped:** middleware-level limiting, per-route custom error messages, sliding vs. fixed window choice — tell me if any of those matter.

**What's your setup?** Before I write anything, I need to know: 1. **What identifies a "user"?** IP address, API key, JWT sub, something else? 2. **What are the limits?** (e.g. 10 req/min) 3. **Where does state live?** In-process (single server, dev) or Redis (multi-server, prod)? 4. **Show me the endpoint** — I'll wire it in directly rather than give generic code. --- While you answer: the laziest complete solution for a single-server API is `slowapi` (wraps `limits`, decorator-based, ~3 lines per endpoint). If you're already on Redis or have an existing middleware pattern, we'll use that instead.

Use Python's built-in `email.utils.parseaddr`: ```python from email.utils import parseaddr def is_valid_email(email): name, addr = parseaddr(email) return '@' in addr and '.' in addr.split('@')[1] ``` That's it. It parses the email, checks for `@` and a dot after it (minimal RFC 5321). For 95% of use cases, this beats a regex or a dependency. **Skipped:** RFC 5322 full compliance, length limits, DNS MX checks, plus-addressing edge cases. **Risk:** accepts some invalid addresses (e.g., `user@localhost`); if you need strict validation, ask your backend to send a confirmation link instead—that's the only real check.

```python from gpiozero import MCP3008 from math import log # Vishay NTCLE100E3103 10k thermistor, Beta model. Adjust B/R0/T0 for your part. B = 3977.0 # Beta (K), from datasheet R0 = 10000.0 # resistance at T0 (ohms) T0 = 298.15 # 25 C in Kelvin R_SERIES = 10000.0 # fixed divider resistor (ohms) def read_temperature_c(channel=0): """Celsius from an NTC thermistor on an MCP3008.

Risk: the constants and divider topology are for a specific part/wiring — wrong `B`/`R0`/`R_SERIES` or a thermistor on the low side gives silently wrong readings. Set them from your datasheet.

Using the standard `gpiozero` MCP3008 helper — it's the common Pi ADC library and avoids hand-rolling SPI. ```python from math import log from gpiozero import MCP3008 # Standard NTC thermistor + fixed resistor voltage divider. # Defaults are a common 10k NTC with Beta=3950, 10k series resistor. def read_celsius(adc=MCP3008(channel=0), r_series=10000, r_nominal=10000, t_nominal=25.0, beta=3950): v = adc.value # 0.0..1.0 fraction of Vref if not 0.0 < v < 1.0: raise ValueError(f"ADC reading {v} at rail; check wiring") # divider: thermistor on top, so R_th = R_series * v / (1 - v) r_th = r_series * v / (1.0 - v) # Beta equation, returns Kelvin -> Celsius t_kelvin = 1.0 / (1.0/(t_nominal + 273.15) + log(r_th/r_nominal)/beta) return t_kelvin - 273.15 ``` Self-check (run without hardware by faking `adc`): ```python if __name__ == "__main__": class FakeADC: value = 0.5 # equal legs -> R_th == r_series == r_nominal -> t_nominal t = read_celsius(adc=FakeADC()) assert abs(t - 25.0) == 0 or abs(t - 25.0) < 1e-6, t print("ok", t) ``` At v=0.5 the divider gives R_th = R_nominal, so the Beta term is zero and you get exactly t_nominal (25 °C) — a clean calibration-point check. Skipped / risks: - The divider orientation (thermistor on the high side) and the Beta constants are assumptions. If your thermistor is on the ground side, swap to `r_series * (1-v)/v`. Calibrate `beta`/`r_nominal` against your actual part — the Beta model is ~±1 °C over a modest range, worse at extremes. - `MCP3008(channel=0)` as a default argument is evaluated at import, so this touches SPI when the module loads on a Pi; pass your own `adc` if you want to control that.

Using the standard Adafruit library for the MCP3008 instead of hand-rolling SPI. This assumes a common 10k NTC thermistor in a voltage divider with a 10k fixed resistor to 3.3V — those values are wired into the math via the Beta equation. ```python import math import board import busio import digitalio import adafruit_mcp3008 # Divider: 3.3V -- R_FIXED -- node(ADC ch0) -- NTC -- GND VREF = 3.3 R_FIXED = 10000.0 # fixed resistor, ohms R0 = 10000.0 # thermistor resistance at 25C T0 = 298.15 # 25C in Kelvin BETA = 3950.0 # thermistor beta coefficient (check your datasheet) spi = busio.SPI(clock=board.SCK, MISO=board.MISO, MOSI=board.MOSI) cs = digitalio.DigitalInOut(board.D5) _mcp = adafruit_mcp3008.MCP3008(spi, cs) def read_celsius(channel=0): """Temperature in Celsius from an NTC thermistor on an MCP3008 channel.""" raw = _mcp.read_adc(channel) # 0..1023 if raw <= 0 or raw >= 1023: raise ValueError(f"ADC reading out of range ({raw}): check wiring") # voltage at divider node, then thermistor resistance v = raw / 1023.0 * VREF r_therm = R_FIXED * v / (VREF - v) # Beta equation inv_t = 1.0 / T0 + math.log(r_therm / R0) / BETA return 1.0 / inv_t - 273.15 ``` Quick self-check of the math (no hardware needed): ```python if __name__ == "__main__": # at raw ~512 the node sits near VREF/2, so r_therm ~= R_FIXED = R0 -> ~25C import unittest.mock as m _mcp.read_adc = lambda ch: 512 t = read_celsius() assert 24 < t < 26, t print(f"OK: {t:.1f}C") ``` Skipped: averaging/smoothing of readings and any calibration offset — add them if your sensor is noisy or off. Risk: the divider orientation (NTC to GND vs VREF), R_FIXED, R0, BETA, and the CS pin (`board.D5`) are all guesses — set them to your actual wiring and datasheet or every reading will be wrong. Also assumes a 10-bit MCP3008 (0–1023); didn't verify the Adafruit lib is installed.
