To handle API status errors (like 429) and connection errors without relying on 'on error', you can use the following approaches: • Specific Exceptions: Use

APIStatusError

for status code errors (e.g., 429) and

APIConnectionError

for connection issues. These exceptions include properties like

status_code

and

retryable

. • Retryable Flag: Check the

retryable

flag in exceptions to decide whether to retry the operation. • Handle Specific Status Codes: Use the

status_code

property to handle specific errors like rate limiting (429) or server errors (5xx). • Retry with Backoff: Implement exponential backoff for retryable errors to avoid overwhelming the server. • Connection Options: Configure retry intervals and maximum retries using connection options in the API client. • WebSocket Errors: For WebSocket connections, handle errors during the connection process using specific error types like

ConnectionError

. Let me know if you need detailed examples or further assistance! Sources: livekit-plugins/livekit-plugins-tavus/livekit/plugins/tavus/api.py
