FAQ
How can I configure the JS Tag to support AJAX calls?
DataDome requires the configuration of a listener to protect AJAX calls.
To do so, configure the value of Client-side Protection Options as follow:
- Configuration of the listener for a single endpoint:
{ "ajaxListenerPath" : "domain/api"}
- Configuration of the listener for multiple endpoints:
{ "ajaxListenerPath" : ["domain1/api", "domain2", "domain3"] }
How can I disable the rate limiting feature of my Cloudflare site DataDome module is activated?
Burst rate
Accounts using the Workers free plan are subject to a burst rate limit of 1000 requests per minute.
DataDome module relies on Cloudflare Worker technology.
When used on websites with a lot of traffic, it may trigger an internal Cloudflare limit for Workers.
This can be inspected in Cloudflare firewall events.
If you are impacted by this limitation, please contact the Cloudflare support in order to lift this limit on your account:
- Log in your account.
- Click on the Support drop-down menu.
Support drop-down menu.
- Log in your Cloudflare support site.
- Select My Activities & Requests to access the Submit a Request button.
My activities and requests button.
- Click on Get additional help.
Click to file a support ticket.
- Create a new support ticket with a clear summary (ex:
Rate Limiting on Cloudflare app).
Set a clear summary for the ticket.
- Fill in the description with an explanation text such as the example below:
Hello,
We enabled DataDome Cloudflare app on our domain.
To make sure that Cloudflare rate limiting feature will not affect the behavior of this app
(blocking subrequests to its web servers).
Could you please disable the rate limiting feature for all requests toward the host
api-cloudflare.datadome.co?
This is a known issue regarding workers embedded in apps, that has already been handled by Cloudflare
support for other DataDome customers.
