jackiebinbin/api-data-fetcher

A Python script to fetch and handle data from an API with error handling and retry mechanism.

API Data Fetcher

This Python script fetches data from the specified API URL and prints the JSON data to the console. It handles common errors, such as 502 Bad Gateway, 504 Gateway Timeout, and ConnectionError, by retrying the request with a delay.

Requirements

• Python 3.6 or higher
• requests library

Installation

1. Clone this repository or download the script.
2. Install the required library using pip: pip install requests

Usage

1. Open the api_data_fetcher.py script in a text editor.
2. Modify the base_url and address variables to match the desired API endpoint and address.
3. Save the script and run it using the command: python api_data_fetcher.py

The script will fetch the data from the API and print it to the console. If an error is encountered, the script will retry the request up to the specified maximum number of retries.

Configuration

You can adjust the max_retries and retry_delay parameters in the fetch_data function to control the behavior of the retry mechanism.
