TwitterRetry

Twitter api awesome handling with retry

• Ruby 2.1+

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'twitter_retry'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install twitter_retry

TwitterRetry.with_handing do
  # some twitter API code
  twitter.update("some tweet")
end

• When twitter.update not raise error
  • return true
• When twitter.update raise Twitter::Error::Forbidden (Your account is suspended and is not permitted to access this feature.)
  • raise TwitterRetry::SuspendedError
• When twitter.update raise ignorable error (ex. Twitter::Error::Forbidden(User is over daily status update limit.))
  • error is squashed
  • return false
• When twitter.update raise retryable error (ex. Twitter::Error::ServiceUnavailable(Over capacity))
  • retry 3 times with sleep 1 second
  • When successful in retry, return true
  • When all failure, raise TwitterRetry::RetryOverError

The algorithm is actually more concise in code: See TwitterRetry::Retryable

TwitterRetry.configure do |config|
  config.sleep_second     = 1
  config.max_retry_count  = 3
  config.retryable_errors << [Twitter::Error, "some error message"]
  config.ignorable_errors << [Twitter::Error, "some error message"]

  # Check whether error message matched with regexp
  config.retryable_errors << [Twitter::Error::ServiceUnavailable, /something/]

  # Check whether only error class matches (error message can be anything)
  config.ignorable_errors << [Twitter::Error::ServiceUnavailable]
end
