Idempotency
The Devin API supports idempotent operations to safely handle retries and prevent duplicate operations. When an endpoint supports idempotency, you can set theidempotent parameter to true in your request. The response will include an is_new_session field indicating whether a new resource was created.
For example, when creating sessions with idempotency enabled, retrying the same request will return the existing session instead of creating a duplicate one. This is particularly useful in unreliable network conditions or when implementing retry logic in your applications.
