If the API fails then this code will help in retrying the call

retry-api-call.js

(function() {
  sleep = ms => {
    return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms));
  };
  
  async function getTokenFromApi() {
  	let retries = 2;
    
    async function poll(apiCallback) {
      let response = {};

      try {
        response = await apiCallback();
        response.status = 202;

        if(response.status === 202) {
          if(retries > 0) {
          	retries -= 1;
            
            await sleep(1000);
          	return poll(apiCallback);
          } else {
          	return Promise.reject(new Error("something bad happened"));
          }
        }      
      } catch(err) {
        return err;
      }

      return response;
    }
    
  	try {
    	console.log(await poll(() => axios.get('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts')));
    } catch(err) {
    	console.log('Major major err');
    }
  }
  
  getTokenFromApi();
})();
