Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method for determining access to a resource in an electronic environment, comprising: receiving a request for access to a resource; parsing the request to determine a token associated with the request, the token being associated with at least a parameter of the request and the token being associated with a source of access requests to the resource; receiving one or more instances of request data associated with the token from one or more throttling components associated with a server group; tracking an amount of requests associated with the token over time based at least in part on the received one or more instances of request data; determining whether to indicate the source associated with the token as a candidate for throttling based at least in part on the amount of requests associated with the token; requesting an approval to throttle the source based at least in part on determining that the amount of requests associated with the token over time exceeds a limit; receiving a response to the request for approval; and throttling the source based at least in part on the response to the request for approval.
