Reconnect to an API? - stylingpat - Mar-27-2021
Hello everyone, my Python program connects to an API, is there any way to make it try and "auto reconnect" every 1 min to the said API if it gets disconnected?
My connection code is on a single thread.. so mechanically, I would need a way to just:
1. detect a disconnect, and
2. IF disconnect found, do a while loop on the thread.start()
3. untill connection restored?
This should be an interesting discussion and hopefully I learn alot from it but I am still pretty new, so simple explanations and code examples are the best

So after some head aching searching, it seems the easiest way to do this is to have a totally separate script monitoring some type of connection, if the connection goes out, close the original script and re-run the original script after connection is restablished?
