Handling errors

When the SDK method is unable to connect to the API server, or the API server returns a non-successful response, the SDK will throw an ApiError that you can catch and handle: 
import { runs, APIError } from "@trigger.dev/sdk/v3";

async function main() {
  try {
    const run = await runs.retrieve("run_1234");
  } catch (error) {
    if (error instanceof ApiError) {
      console.error(`API error: ${error.status}, ${error.headers}, ${error.body}`);
    } else {
      console.error(`Unknown error: ${error.message}`);
    }
  }
}

​
Retries

The SDK will automatically retry requests that fail due to network errors or server errors. By default, the SDK will retry requests up to 3 times, with an exponential backoff delay between retries. You can customize the retry behavior by passing a requestOptions option to the configure function: 
import { configure } from "@trigger.dev/sdk/v3";

configure({
  requestOptions: {
    retry: {
      maxAttempts: 5,
      minTimeoutInMs: 1000,
      maxTimeoutInMs: 5000,
      factor: 1.8,
      randomize: true,
    },
  },
});
All SDK functions also take a requestOptions parameter as the last argument, which can be used to customize the request options. You can use this to disable retries for a specific request: 
import { runs } from "@trigger.dev/sdk/v3";

async function main() {
  const run = await runs.retrieve("run_1234", {
    retry: {
      maxAttempts: 1, // Disable retries
    },
  });
}
When running inside a task, the SDK ignores customized retry options for certain functions (e.g., task.trigger, task.batchTrigger), and uses retry settings optimized for task execution.
