nexusLIMS.utils.network.nexus_req(url: str, function: str, *, retries: int = 5, token_auth: str | None = None, **kwargs: dict | None)[source]#

Make a request from NexusLIMS.

A helper method that wraps a function from requests, but adds a local certificate authority chain to validate any custom certificates. Will automatically retry on transient server errors (502, 503, 504) with exponential backoff.

Parameters:

  • url – The URL to fetch

  • function – The function from the requests library to use (e.g. 'GET', 'POST', 'PATCH', etc.)

  • retries – The maximum number of retry attempts (total attempts = retries + 1)

  • token_auth – If a value is provided, it will be used as a token for authentication

  • **kwargs – Other keyword arguments are passed along to the fn

Returns:

r – A requests response object

Return type:

requests.Response
