Retry An API Request | ReqRun

Problem

You need an OpenAI request to complete even if the upstream API rate limits, times out, or temporarily fails.

Code

Copy this into a server-side route or job.

TypeScript

import { ReqRun } from "@reqrun/sdk";

const reqrun = new ReqRun({
  apiKey: process.env.REQRUN_API_KEY!,
  baseURL: "https://api.reqrun.com",
});

const result = await reqrun.chat.completions.create({
  model: "gpt-5-nano",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Summarize this incident." }],
  wait: true,
  idempotency_key: "incident-421",
});

Expected output

A normal chat completion if the request completes within wait timeout, otherwise an async response with an rr_ request id.
