Getting hit with HTTP error 429 - how do I handle too many requests? or HTTP error 429: What’s the be

For http error 429, you gotta respect the API’s limits. Some APIs send `Retry-After` headers—check for those!

If not, I’d recommend a library like `tenacity` for retries with backoff. Here’s how:

```python
from tenacity import retry, stop_after_attempt, wait_exponential
import requests

@retry(stop=stop_after_attempt(3), wait=wait_exponential(multiplier=1, min=4, max=10))
def make_request():
response = requests.get("your_api_url")
response.raise_for_status()
return response
```

This’ll handle the retries automagically.
