Hey folks!
So, I’m trying to figure out how to properly use the go-resty retrycondition in my project. I’ve got some basic retries working, but I’m not sure if I’m doing it the *best* way.
Like, should I be checking for specific HTTP status codes? Or maybe handling network errors differently? I’ve seen a few examples, but they’re kinda all over the place.
Anyone got some solid tips or snippets for go-resty retrycondition? Maybe something you’ve used in prod that actually works?
Also, is there a way to limit retries based on time or something? I don’t wanna spam the server lol.
Thanks in advance! 🙏
Hey! For go-resty retrycondition, I usually check for 5xx status codes and timeouts.
Here's a quick snippet I use:
```go
client.SetRetryCondition(func(r *resty.Response, err error) bool {
return r.StatusCode() >= 500 || err != nil
})
```
Also, set a max retry count with `SetRetryCount()` to avoid spamming the server. Works like a charm in prod!
Yo, I feel you on the retry spam concern. You can totally limit retries by time using `SetRetryWaitTime()` and `SetRetryMaxWaitTime()`.
For example:
```go
client.SetRetryWaitTime(2 * time.Second)
client.SetRetryMaxWaitTime(10 * time.Second)
```
This way, it won’t go crazy retrying too fast. Also, check out the official docs—they’ve got some solid examples for go-resty retrycondition.
Hey! I’ve been using go-resty retrycondition for a while now. One thing I’d suggest is to handle 429 (Too Many Requests) specifically.
Something like:
```go
client.SetRetryCondition(func(r *resty.Response, err error) bool {
return r.StatusCode() == 429 || r.StatusCode() >= 500
})
```
This helps with rate-limiting scenarios. Also, don’t forget to log retries for debugging!
Honestly, I’d recommend using a combination of status codes and error types. For go-resty retrycondition, I usually check for network errors (like `net.Error`) and specific HTTP codes.
Here’s a tip: use `errors.As()` to check for network errors. It’s cleaner and more reliable.

Hey! I’ve found that go-resty retrycondition works best when you’re specific about what you’re retrying.
For example, I only retry on 502, 503, and 504 status codes. Anything else is usually a client-side issue, so no point retrying.
Also, set a reasonable retry count (like 3-5) and use exponential backoff. It’s saved me a ton of headaches in prod.
Yo, I’ve been down this road before. For go-resty retrycondition, I’d say don’t overcomplicate it.
Just retry on 5xx and timeouts, and maybe 429 if you’re dealing with rate limits.
Also, use `SetRetryAfter()` if the server sends a Retry-After header. It’s a lifesaver for rate-limiting scenarios.
Hey! I’ve been using go-resty retrycondition for a while, and one thing I’d suggest is to add a delay between retries.
Something like:
```go
client.SetRetryWaitTime(1 * time.Second)
client.SetRetryMaxWaitTime(5 * time.Second)
```
This prevents hammering the server too hard. Also, check out this tool called [Retry-Utils](link)—it’s great for testing retry logic.
Hey, I’ve had good luck with go-resty retrycondition by keeping it simple.
I usually retry on 5xx codes and network errors, but I also add a custom condition for specific API errors (like if the response body has a certain error message).
Here’s a quick example:
```go
client.SetRetryCondition(func(r *resty.Response, err error) bool {
return r.StatusCode() >= 500 || strings.Contains(string(r.Body()), "retry_later")
})
```
Works like a charm!

Here’s what I do:
```go
client.SetRetryWaitTime(1 * time.Second)
client.SetRetryMaxWaitTime(10 * time.Second)
client.SetRetryCount(3)
```
This way, it’s not too aggressive. Also, check out the official go-resty GitHub repo—they’ve got some great examples in the issues section.
