Interview Prompt

The API gateway needs to cap how many requests each client can make within a rolling time window. Build a class that tracks request timestamps and decides whether each new request should be allowed or throttled.

How This Interview Works

  1. Read the vague prompt (just like a real interview)
  2. Ask clarifying questions to the AI interviewer
  3. Write your python solution with real code execution
  4. Get instant feedback and a hire/no-hire decision
