title Retries
description Configure automatic retries with exponential backoff for failed requests.

import Tabs from '@theme/Tabs'; import TabItem from '@theme/TabItem'; import CodeBlock from '@theme/CodeBlock';

import ApiLink from '@theme/ApiLink';

import RetriesAsyncExample from '!!raw-loader!./code/05_retries_async.py'; import RetriesSyncExample from '!!raw-loader!./code/05_retries_sync.py';

The Apify client automatically retries requests that fail due to:

  • Network errors
  • Internal errors in the Apify API (HTTP status codes 500 and above)
  • Rate limit errors (HTTP status code 429)

By default, the client retries a failed request up to 4 times. The retry intervals use an exponential backoff strategy:

  • The first retry occurs after approximately 500 milliseconds.
  • The second retry occurs after approximately 1,000 milliseconds, and so on.

You can customize this behavior using the following options in the ApifyClient constructor:

  • max_retries: Defines the maximum number of retry attempts.
  • min_delay_between_retries: Sets the minimum delay between retries as a timedelta.

Retries with exponential backoff help reduce the load on the server and increase the chances of a successful request.
