Rate limit handling

[dobesv]

Does this automatically wait and retry if you are hitting rate limits?

[timrichardson]

It doesn't. If we could pass a requests. session object into the constructor, we could provide a retry session, which is what I do on the APIs I write myself. In this case we should strictly limit retries to short term rate error problems (no point retrying if the limit exceeded is the daily limit) which would need some more specific retry handling, and I think I would be very conservative and avoid retrying for other errors.

In the meantime, the tenacity library is a work-around (https://pypi.org/project/tenacity/)
