In tuber: Client for the YouTube API

Exponential backoff retry logic for API calls

Description

Implements exponential backoff with jitter for retrying failed API calls

Usage

with_retry(
  expr,
  max_retries = 3,
  base_delay = 1,
  max_delay = 60,
  backoff_factor = 2,
  jitter = TRUE,
  retry_on = function(e) is_transient_error(e),
  on_retry = NULL
)

Arguments

expr	Expression to evaluate (usually an API call)
max_retries	Maximum number of retry attempts
base_delay	Base delay in seconds for first retry
max_delay	Maximum delay in seconds
backoff_factor	Multiplier for delay between retries
jitter	Whether to add random jitter to prevent thundering herd
retry_on	Function that takes an error and returns TRUE if should retry
on_retry	Function called on each retry attempt with attempt number and error

Value

Result of successful expression evaluation
