Hey @mschfh,

plainly retrying requests could be a bit dangerous, as we do not have an idempotent API. Actions might be taken twice, if the actual API request arrived at the backend, but then some proxy in the middle fails the request.

Do you know of any SDKs/API Clients which do this?

afaik aws's SDK does this

Until we find out the best approach to solve this, you may use an external library that implement a retry round tripper:

package main

import (
	"net/http"

	"github.com/hashicorp/go-retryablehttp"
	"github.com/hetznercloud/hcloud-go/v2/hcloud"
)

func main() {
	token := "YOUR_API_TOKEN"

	httpClient := &http.Client{}
	httpClient.Transport = &retryablehttp.RoundTripper{}

	hcloud.NewClient(
		hcloud.WithToken(token),
		hcloud.WithHTTPClient(httpClient),
	)
}
