Configurable Retry with Exponential Backoff

[dcjones1]

Feature Request

Add retry options and exponential backoff as part of the API.

Describe the Feature/Describe the Solution You'd Like

I think keeping it simple is best. Below is a screenshot from the Stripe library showing how to set network retires. For this feature, I propose a single field maxNetworkRetries with a default of 0. This can be changed and will use exponential backoff for multiple retries, much like the Stripe API.

Exponential backoff will be based on the example provided here by Google. https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/web-service/web-services-best-practices#exponential-backoff

Additional Information

This is my first time opening an issue for a feature request. I didn't dive into the details on this since I think it's a small change that doesn't require too much explanation. I welcome any feedback on both the feature and the request itself. Thanks!

This API returning 500 happens fairly regularly, any plans for implementing this?
