When to Retry

Implement retry logic for the following situations:
  • 429 Too Many Requests
  • 5xx Server Errors (e.g., 500, 503)
Use exponential backoff with jitter to space retries safely and avoid system overload.
Learn more about how rate limits work on our Rate Limiting page.

​
Retry Headers

For 429 errors, respect the Retry-After header value: 
Retry-After: 60
1

Detect 429 response

Check if the HTTP status code equals 429.
2

Wait before retrying

Use the value from the Retry-After header to delay your retry.
3

Retry the request

Reattempt the same request after the delay.
Avoid tight retry loops — they may cause cascading failures or get your integration rate-limited further.
