Reg. handling ratelimiting error for chat.update slack api #2010

Closed FirozaSurveySparrow22 closed 1 month ago

FirozaSurveySparrow22 commented 2 months ago

Packages: @slack/web-api - 6.11.1 version

Reproducible in: After crossing the ratelimiting

The Slack SDK version "slack/web-api": "^6.11.1", "slack/logger": "^3.0.0", "slack/types": "^2.11.0",

Node.js runtime version - 14.17.6

I am using chat.update slack api using WebClient of @slack/web-api. The api has ratelimiting of type Web API Tier 3 (50 per minute) and when I have used more that 50 apis per minute, I am getting an info and warning like below but I am not getting any error so that I can catch the error and then I can implement custom backoff strategy to retry the update api after the given retry-after from the rate limit error.

[INFO] web-api:WebClient:1523 API Call failed due to rate limiting. Will retry in 10 seconds. [WARN] web-api:WebClient:1523 http request failed A rate limit was exceeded (url: chat.update, retry-after: 10)

I wanted to implement custom backoff strategy, so I want an appropriate error with retry-after header when ratelimiting occurs. Can you please help in this, if we get the error in the catch block or how does it work. Thank you.

Have you read the documentation about rate limiting, the event available to listen on, and the option to turn off warning and enable rejection (error) instead? https://slack.dev/node-slack-sdk/web-api#rate-limits

Note that the default rate limit handling in @slack/web-api is to look at the Retry-After information returned by the Slack backend and honour it. The client, therefore, will retry at the soonest possible time.
