Automatic Retries (smart handling of platform failures)

Hi there!

If you’ve worked with social media APIs long enough, you’ve seen this:

You send a valid request. Platform responds with “Internal error”.
You retry the exact same request a minute later and suddenly everything is fine.

We don’t think you should be building retry logic for every platform yourself.

Postproxy now runs smart automatic retries for transient platform failures. When we detect a failure that looks recoverable, we queue a controlled retry sequence instead of immediately marking the post as permanently failed.

You stay in control:

The API exposes a clear status like failed_waiting_for_retry
The UI shows that the post is retrying and when the next attempt is scheduled
Each platform is handled independently, as always

Publishing is already complex enough. Platform instability shouldn’t become your infrastructure problem.

If you want to see how publishing states work (including retries), check the API reference here: https://postproxy.dev/reference/posts/

As always, if something looks odd or you want more visibility into retry behavior, tell us. We’d rather improve the system than have you build workarounds on top of it.

Cheers,
Dmitry
