I was browsing reddit and came across a post.. I like the concept but thought I could improve on the implementation.. so I did

Concept

For each API vendor (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Dropbox) have the requests implement StubbornAwareInterface and throw the class into Stubborn, You can implement the methods to handle the API oddities

Example

class StubbornDummyApi implements \Stubborn\StubbornAwareInterface
{

    private $apiKey;

    public function __construct($apikey)
    {
        $this->apiKey = $apiKey;
    }

    public function getRetryNumber()
    {
        // try twice
        return 1;
    }

    public function getRetryWaitSeconds()
    {
        // wait 5 seconds after each try
        return 10;
    }

    public function run()
    {
        // use the API key or something in the real world?
        $this->apiKey = null;

        // Actual API logic here.. so Facebook, Twitter etc
        return new \Stubborn\StubbornResponse('{"status":true}', 200);
    }

    public function getHttpActionRequest(\Stubborn\StubbornResponseInterface $response)
    {
        // Handle the HTTP code, 501/408 lets retry
        switch($response->getHttpCode()){
            case 501:
            case 408:
                return self::RETRY_ACTION;
            default:
                return false;
        }
    }

    public function getExceptionActionRequest(\Exception $exception)
    {
        switch(true){
            // If UnexpectedValueException retry wait.. maybe got something odd back from the API
            case ($exception instanceof \UnexpectedValueException):
                return self::RETRY_WAIT_ACTION;
            // Default action is to just rethrow the Exception, we don't know what to do with it
            case ($exception instanceof \Exception):
            default:
                throw $exception;
        }
    }
}

$dummyApiRequest = new StubbornDummyApi('123456789qwerty');
$stubborn = new \Stubborn\Stubborn($dummyApiRequest);
$result = $stubborn->run();

if($result instanceOf \Stubborn\StubbornResponseInterface){
    var_dump($result->getHttpCode());
    var_dump($result->getData());
}
