retry-with-backoff

To retry API calls failing with 429 or 503 errors, implement an exponential backoff strategy that pauses execution for a calculated duration before retrying the request, respecting API limits and avoiding immediate failure.

Exponential backoff is a retry strategy that gradually increases wait times between attempts when encountering transient network errors like ECONNRESET or ETIMEDOUT, preventing overwhelming the target service with immediate repeated requests.

Execute curl commands with automatic retry on rate limiting by applying a retry mechanism with a maximum limit of 5 attempts, using exponential backoff to calculate wait intervals based on the attempt number for 429 or 503 errors.

Yes, you can configure a maximum retry limit for handling service unavailability. The retry mechanism defines wait intervals based on the attempt number and stops executing after reaching the maximum retry limit to prevent endless loops.

Use exponential backoff for API error handling when making frequent calls to an external API that experiences temporary issues, ensuring robustness in automated processes by gracefully pausing execution during transient failures instead of failing immediately.
