Axios Request Retries

retry-axios is a library designed to automatically retry failed HTTP requests made using the Axios client library. It operates as an Axios interceptor, providing built-in exponential backoff and extensive configuration options for retry logic, including HTTP methods, status codes, retry delays, and jitter strategies. The current stable version is 4.0.3, released in April 2026. The package demonstrates a consistent release cadence, with major versions aligning with significant Node.js LTS updates. Key differentiators include its deep integration with Axios interceptors, allowing for global or instance-specific retry policies, and its flexible backoff algorithms (exponential, static, linear) to prevent thundering herd problems, making it suitable for robust client-side network operations in both Node.js and browser environments.
