AkShare Financial Data

WHENWhen implementing HTTP request functions that fetch external data

ACTIONImplement retry logic with exponential backoff to handle transient network failures

CONSEQUENCEWithout retry logic, transient network failures or temporary server issues will cause complete request failures, resulting in missing data and failed workflows

WHENWhen implementing HTTP request functions

ACTIONSet a timeout value for each HTTP request to prevent indefinite hanging

CONSEQUENCEWithout timeout, a blocked connection can hang indefinitely, freezing the entire application and preventing data collection from other sources

WHENWhen implementing HTTP request functions

ACTIONValidate that HTTP response status codes indicate success before processing data

CONSEQUENCEWithout status code validation, error responses (404, 500, etc.) may be processed as valid data, leading to corrupted downstream analysis and incorrect financial calculations
