Perform an HTTP GET request with retry logic (ESPN)

Source: R/utils_espn.R
dot-retry_request.Rd

Thin httr2 wrapper used by the ESPN MLB wrappers. Supports optional query parameters, custom headers, and proxy routing. Proxy resolution order:

  1. proxy argument (caller-supplied, highest precedence).

  2. getOption("baseballr.proxy") (session-level fallback – set once with options(baseballr.proxy = ...); ESPN wrappers call .retry_request() directly without ..., so per-call overrides are not threaded through).

  3. http_proxy / https_proxy / no_proxy env vars (read by libcurl automatically when no explicit proxy is supplied).

Usage

.retry_request(
  url,
  params = list(),
  headers = NULL,
  timeout = 60,
  proxy = NULL
)

Arguments

url

The URL to request.

params

Named list of query parameters (default: empty list).

headers

Named character vector of headers (default: NULL).

timeout

Timeout in seconds (default: 60).

proxy

Optional proxy (see above). Defaults to getOption("baseballr.proxy").

Value

An httr2::response object.

Details

The proxy value accepts a single URL string ("http://host:port", passed to httr2::req_proxy(url = )) or a named list spread as keyword args into httr2::req_proxy() (url, port, username, password, auth).
