In Error Handling we already found out that requests can fail. We provide a way to automatically retry requests via retry handlers. Note, by default no retries are performed.

var config = SpotifyClientConfig
  .CreateDefault()
  .WithRetryHandler(new YourCustomRetryHandler())

IRetryHandler only needs one function:

public class YourCustomRetryHandler : IRetryHandler
{
  public Task<IResponse> HandleRetry(IRequest request, IResponse response, IRetryHandler.RetryFunc retry)
  {
    // request is the sent request and response the received response, obviously?

    // don't retry:
    return response;

    // retry once
    var newResponse = retry(request);
    return newResponse;

    // use retry as often as you want, make sure to return a response
  }
}

SimpleRetryHandler

A SimpleRetryHandler is included, which contains the following retry logic:

• Retries the (configurable) status codes: 500, 502, 503 and 429
• RetryAfter - specifies the delay between retried calls
• RetryTimes - specifies the maxiumum amount of performed retries per call
• TooManyRequestsConsumesARetry - Whether a failure of type "Too Many Requests" should use up one of the retry attempts.

var config = SpotifyClientConfig
  .CreateDefault()
  .WithRetryHandler(new SimpleRetryHandler() { RetryAfter = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1) });

var spotify = new SpotifyClient(config);
