Request: Implementing retry mechanism on throttle failures #12

Open timr11 opened 5 months ago

timr11 commented 5 months ago

My organization is subscribed to the Business tier. We would like to perform large batches of conversions in parallel. In theory we have unlimited bandwidth, I'd like to implement a retry policy on 503 throttle failures. In this library, there doesn't appear to be a way of accessing the HTTP response after a call is made to the ConvertAPI REST API. It would be helpful to expose the HTTP response to allow for custom error handling.

We will internally discuss this and will let you know about the decision.

Would it be for you acceptable, for now to use ConvertPath method to get an error? https://github.com/ConvertAPI/convertapi-go/blob/master/examples/simple/main.go

Every public method on Result struct returns errors, you can use it too to get an error.
