Error handling and retry patterns in Leafy Energy SDKs

Building robust integrations with Leafy Energy

Even in a demo environment you want to show how to build robust integrations. The conceptual Leafy Energy SDKs therefore include examples of error handling and retry logic.

Types of errors

• 4xx errors (for example invalid parameters, missing permissions).
• 5xx errors (temporary server issues).
• Network errors (timeouts, DNS issues).

Patterns in the SDK

• Automatic retries on selected 5xx and network errors with exponential backoff.
• Clear error classes (for example LeafyAuthenticationError, LeafyRateLimitError).
• Options to configure max retries and timeouts.

In the sample code you can show how your own application adds additional safeguards such as fallback to cache or a “degrade gracefully” mode.
