About This Workflow
Overview
This workflow demonstrates how to implement an exponential backoff strategy when making requests to Google APIs. It's designed to gracefully handle rate limiting errors (like HTTP 429) by automatically retrying requests with increasing delays between attempts, preventing workflow failures due to transient API issues.
Key Features
- Automatic retry mechanism for API errors.
- Configurable maximum number of retries.
- Exponentially increasing delay between retries.
- Clear stopping point when maximum retries are exceeded.
- Includes error handling for general workflow execution issues.
How To Use
- Import this workflow into your n8n instance.
- Replace the
Google Sheetsnode with the specific Google API node you need to interact with. - Configure the
Google Sheetsnode (or your chosen Google API node) with your credentials and desired parameters. - Ensure the
Exponential Backoffcode node is connected downstream from the API node that might fail. - Adjust
maxRetriesandinitialDelayin theExponential Backoffnode as per your API's rate limit guidelines. - The
Stop and Errornode will be triggered if the maximum retries are exhausted.
