The APIClient uses a RetryPolicy to wrap network calls. When a request is made via client.request(), the client executes the request within an internal _run_with_retry loop.

This loop specifically catches:

1. CloudflareError: Raised when the client detects Cloudflare bot mitigation.
2. requests.errors.RequestsError: Raised for transient network-level issues.

If an error is caught, the client waits for a duration calculated by RetryPolicy.sleep_for() (which uses exponential backoff and jitter) and tries again, up to max_attempts. If all attempts fail, the last exception encountered is raised to the caller.
