GitHub - octokit/plugin-retry.js: Octokit plugin for GitHub’s recommended request retries

Retries requests for server 4xx/5xx responses except 400, 401, 403, 404, 410, 422, and 451.

Usage

Browsers	Load `@octokit/plugin-retry` and `@octokit/core` (or core-compatible module) directly from esm.sh <script type="module"> import { Octokit } from "https://esm.sh/@octokit/core"; import { retry } from "https://esm.sh/@octokit/plugin-retry"; </script>
Node	Install with `npm install @octokit/core @octokit/plugin-retry`. Optionally replace `@octokit/core` with a core-compatible module import { Octokit } from "@octokit/core"; import { retry } from "@octokit/plugin-retry";

const MyOctokit = Octokit.plugin(retry);
const octokit = new MyOctokit({ auth: "secret123" });

// retries request up to 3 times in case of a 500 response
octokit.request("/").catch((error) => {
  if (error.request.request.retryCount) {
    console.log(
      `request failed after ${error.request.request.retryCount} retries`,
    );
  }

  console.error(error);
});

To override the default doNotRetry list:

const octokit = new MyOctokit({
  auth: "secret123",
  retry: {
    doNotRetry: [
      /* List of HTTP 4xx/5xx status codes */
    ],
  },
});

To override the number of retries:

const octokit = new MyOctokit({
  auth: "secret123",
  request: { retries: 1 },
});

You can manually ask for retries for any request by passing { request: { retries: numRetries, retryAfter: delayInSeconds }}. Note that the doNotRetry option from the constructor is ignored in this case, requests will be retried no matter their response code.

octokit
  .request("/", { request: { retries: 1, retryAfter: 1 } })
  .catch((error) => {
    if (error.request.request.retryCount) {
      console.log(
        `request failed after ${error.request.request.retryCount} retries`,
      );
    }

    console.error(error);
  });

Pass { retry: { enabled: false } } to disable this plugin.
