NAME

       Net::Twitter::Role::RetryOnError - Retry Twitter API calls on error

VERSION

       version 4.01043

SYNOPSIS

           use Net::Twitter;
           $nt = Net::Twitter->new(
               traits      => ['API::RESTv1_1', 'RetryOnError']
               max_retries => 3,
           );

DESCRIPTION

       Temporary errors are not uncommon when calling the Twitter API.  When applied to
       Net::Twitter this role will provide automatic retries of API calls in a very configurable
       way.

       It only retries when the response status code is >= 500.  Other error codes indicate a
       permanent error.  If the maximum number of retries is reached, without success, an
       exception is thrown, as usual.

OPTIONS

       This role adds the following options to "new":

       initial_retry_delay
           A floating point number specifying the initial delay, after an error, before retrying.
           Default: 0.25 (250 milliseconds).

       max_retry_delay
           A floating point number specifying the maximum delay between retries.  Default: 4.0

       retry_delay_multiplier
           On the second and subsequent retries, a new delay is calculated by multiplying the
           previous delay by "retry_delay_multiplier". Default: 2.0

       max_retries
           The maximum number of consecutive retries before giving up and throwing an exception.
           If set to 0, it the API call will be retried indefinitely. Default 5.

       retry_delay_code
           A code reference that will be called to handle the delay.  It is passed a single
           argument: a floating point number specifying the number of seconds to delay.  By
           default, "sleep" in Time::HiRes is called.

           If you're using a non-blocking user agent, like Coro::LWP, you should use this option
           to provide a non-blocking delay.
