[Python] How to Implement a Retry Mechanism for Missing Data in a Webhook Handler?

I am working on a webhook handler where I process incoming data and update records in my database. Here's the relevant portion of my code: `def handle_rocket_reach_webhook(self, profile_data: any): try: incoming_webhook_lookup_id = profile_data.get("id", None)

provider_webhook: Optional[ProviderWebhook] = self._provider_webhook_repo.get_one_by_filter(
filters={'lookup_id': int(incoming_webhook_lookup_id)})

if not provider_webhook:
logger.warning(f"No matching document found for lookup ID {incoming_webhook_lookup_id}.")
return {"message": "Document not found"}

# Further processing logic...
except Exception as e:
logger.error(f"Error in RocketReach webhook call: {e}")
return {"message": "Internal server error"}


`

I need to add a retry mechanism for the case where if not provider_webhook is true. Specifically, I want to retry the logic after 1 hour, up to a maximum of 3 attempts.

What is the best way to implement this in Python? I’m currently using FastAPI and BackgroundTasks, but I’m open to other suggestions such as asyncio or task schedulers like Celery or APScheduler if necessary.

I would appreciate a code example or detailed explanation on how to implement this.
