Handling and Retrying Failed Requests in Ruby
For most websites, your first requests will always be successful, however, it’s inevitable that some of them will fail. For these failed requests, the API will return a 500 status code and won’t charge you for the request.
In this case, we can make our code retry to make the requests until we reach a maximum number of retries that we set:
require 'net/http' require 'net/https' require 'addressable/uri' # Classic (GET) def send_request(user_url) uri = Addressable::URI.
