It's designed to handle flaky and unreliable APIs by retrying on transient failures, similar to urllib3's Retry utility but built for HTTPX's sync and async clients. The package provides sensible defaults for simple use cases (just wrap your client with RetryTransport) and a Retry configuration object for customizing total retry count, backoff factor, and backoff strategy.\n\nThe library is in Beta status and supports Python 3.10 through 3.14. It depends only on httpx and installs as a pure Python wheel. One known limitation: errors that occur while reading the response body (such as ReadTimeout mid-download) happen after the transport returns, so they cannot be retried by the transport itself\u2014the package provides separate helper functions for that case.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, installs with minimal friction, and solves a common problem (request retry) in a way that mirrors familiar patterns from urllib3 and requests. The MIT license imposes no restrictions. Install it if you use HTTPX and need retry behavior; the defaults work out of the box."},"id":"httpx-retries","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/httpx-retries","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/httpx-retries.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/httpx-retries/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-06","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"httpx-retries","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A retry layer for HTTPX."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":4714169,"position":2246,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.6.0"}
