// e.g. BasicAuthAgent will set headers.authorization = `Basic ...` automatically when sending a request
auth: new NoneAuthAgent();
// default to 10.
retryAttempts: 10;
// interval between retries
retryDelay: 500,
// The HTTP response status codes that will automatically be retried.
// Along with status codes, requests will be retried when it fails with predefined network error codes
// see NETWORK_ERRORS in src/main/request.ts
statusCodesToRetry: [401, 429, [502, 504]],
// The HTTP response status codes that will invalidate the auth.
// It's going to be used by AuthAgent that implements invalidate method, such as OAuth2Agent
statusCodeToInvalidateAuth: [401, 403],
// some default headers to add to requests
headers: {},
// fetch module - default to node-fetch
fetch: nodeFetch,
// callback function which will be called on retry
onRetry: () => {},
// callback function which will be called on error
onError: () => {},
