.retry_request

R Documentation

Perform an HTTP GET request with retry logic (ESPN)

Description

Thin httr2 wrapper used by the ESPN MLB wrappers. Supports optional query parameters, custom headers, and proxy routing. Proxy resolution order:

proxy argument (caller-supplied, highest precedence).
getOption("baseballr.proxy") (session-level fallback – set once with options(baseballr.proxy = ...); ESPN wrappers call .retry_request() directly without ..., so per-call overrides are not threaded through).
http_proxy / https_proxy / no_proxy env vars (read by libcurl automatically when no explicit proxy is supplied).

Usage

.retry_request(
  url,
  params = list(),
  headers = NULL,
  timeout = 60,
  proxy = NULL
)

Arguments

`url`	The URL to request.
`params`	Named list of query parameters (default: empty list).
`headers`	Named character vector of headers (default: NULL).
`timeout`	Timeout in seconds (default: 60).
`proxy`	Optional proxy (see above). Defaults to `getOption("baseballr.proxy")`.

Details

The proxy value accepts a single URL string ("http://host:port", passed to httr2::req_proxy(url = )) or a named list spread as keyword args into httr2::req_proxy() (url, port, username, password, auth).
