resque-rate_limited_queue

https://github.com/pavoni/resque-rate-limited-queue

A Resque plugin which allows you to create dedicated queues for jobs that use rate limited apis. These queues will pause when one of the jobs hits a rate limit, and unpause after a suitable time period. The rate_limited_queue can be used directly, and just requires catching the rate limit exception and pausing the queue. There are also additional queues provided that already include the pause/rety logic for twitter, angelist and evernote; these allow you to support rate limited apis with minimal changes.
