Although we are constantly improving the reliability of our systems, applications using our APIs should be designed to anticipate failures. The following simple approach can significantly increase the reliability while working with APIs:

  1. Call the meteoblue API with a timeout of 30 seconds
  2. If the timeout is reached or an error was returned, wait 30 seconds and retry
  3. After 10 retries, give up and log an error with debug information and contacts us if required
