How to Implement Retry with Exponential Backoff for Cloud API 429 Errors in Python
Implement a retry-with-backoff loop in Python to handle 429 throttling errors from cloud APIs, using exponential delay between attempts.
import time
import random
import requests
def api_call(attempt):
"""Mock cloud API that returns 429 for the first two attempts."""
if attempt < 2:
return 429, "Too Many Requests"
return 200, {"data": "success"}
def retry_with_backoff(api_func, max_retries=3, base_delay=0.1):
