Retry http request with optional proxy

Description

This is a thin wrapper on httr2::req_retry() via the internal .retry_request() helper. It applies the WNBA Stats API headers (origin, referer, x-nba-stats-* tokens) and decodes the JSON response.

Usage

request_with_proxy(
  url,
  params = list(),
  origin = "https://stats.wnba.com",
  referer = "https://www.wnba.com/",
  proxy = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

url	Request url
params	list of params
origin	Origin url
referer	Referer url
proxy	Optional proxy config. NULL (default) lets libcurl honor the standard http_proxy / https_proxy / no_proxy environment variables. A single URL string (e.g. "http://host:port") is forwarded to httr2::req_proxy(url = proxy). A named list is spread as keyword args into httr2::req_proxy() (url, port, username, password, auth) for full control over authenticated proxies.
...	currently unused (preserved for backwards compatibility).
