[Solved] Identify the error in this pseudo-code handling 429 responses:if response.status == 429: wait_time = response.headers['Retry-After'] sleep(wait_time) retry_request() | Rest API

Rest API - HTTP Status Codes

Identify the error in this pseudo-code handling 429 responses:

if response.status == 429:
    wait_time = response.headers['Retry-After']
    sleep(wait_time)
    retry_request()

Asleep function cannot be used for waiting

BThe status code check should be 404 instead of 429

CRetry-After header value is a string and needs conversion to number

Dretry_request() should be called before sleep

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check data type of Retry-After header
Headers are strings, so wait_time is a string, not a number.
Step 2: Understand sleep function requirements
sleep expects a number (int or float), so conversion is needed.
Final Answer:
Retry-After header value is a string and needs conversion to number -> Option C
Quick Check:
Convert Retry-After string to number before sleep [OK]

Quick Trick: Convert Retry-After header string to number before sleep [OK]
