gas-retry-urlfetchapp

Introduction

This library provides a URLFetchApp wrapper that automatically retries up to three times whenever a request fails.

Installation

Install this library by adding 1VI7pJrakmggxc7nW5ENKDG7dTNB274yDp-NTzRVMQU58IH_wKJnDJxHz to the library section of your Google Apps Script project.

Usage

This library inherits all functions of the original URLFetchApp class. For more help, please consult the original documentation.

// Destructure the methods you require
const { fetch, fetchAll, _retry } = RetryURLFetchApp;

// Fetch one url
fetch("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1");

// Fetch with custom retry and timeout
fetch("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1", {
  attempts: 5,
  timeout: 1000,
});

// Fetch multiple urls
fetchAll([
  "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1",
  "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/2",
]);

// Fetch multiple with custom retry and timeout
fetchAll(
  [
    "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1",
    "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/2",
  ],
  { attempts: 5, timeout: 1000 }
);

// Retry any function
const attempts = 5;
const sleep = 1000;

function fn() {
  throw new Error("Something went wrong...");
}

_retry(fn, 0, attempts, sleep);
