Need rate limiting info returned by SDK about auth0-python HOT 7 CLOSED

Was looking into this myself. Seems like the SDK just returns a plain dict of the response.

For auth0 core devs, future me, or anyone who might be interested in developing a PR, one approach would be to use requests.Session() combined with event hooks.

Allowing the user to register their own callback function seems like a big win. Until then, I might just monkeypatch the various requests methods.

Hi, I just encountered Rate limit issues with the Library.

Would you have a hint on how to tackle this in the library today?

Thank you

👋 @remi-debette I don't know if the persons above can share their implementation, but the issue today is the library doesn't return the "response object" with the information. The only thing that is returned is the parsed response body. So any rate-limiting implementation, that doesn't introduce breaking changes, needs to happen internally in some sort of throttling logic that reads those headers and retries the requests.

Indeed, as today the library raises exceptions in the case of Rate limit reached, my understanding is that there is no such mechanism internally and that we are forced to retry after the fact

Correct, there's no automatic handling or exponential backoff strategy.

The formatting in the readme is a bit broken, but each request could fail with any of these 3 exceptions listed there https://github.com/auth0/auth0-python#error-handling. You could try/catch this particular RateLimitError type and retry after some seconds.

For future users who arrive here searching, rate-limiting info has been exposed as of 3.11, see #219

Also, automatic rate-limit handling has been implemented since 3.17, see #285
