Q. How do I deal with API pagination, rate limiting, and errors in Airflow?

 A:

  • Pagination: in the extract task, page through API endpoints (by cursor/offset) until done.

  • Rate limiting: respect API limits by inserting sleep delays, using backoff strategies, or using token buckets.

  • Errors: wrap HTTP calls in try/except (or equivalent in your operator), catch timeouts, status codes, and use Airflow retries. Also consider circuit-breaker logic if API is down persistently.
