I have a feature where, immediately after a user submits a response through the Typeform embed on my website, I retrieve the response_id returned by the Typeform component. I then send this response_id to my backend, which queries the Typeform API using the endpoint https://api.typeform.com/forms/{form_id}/responses with the included_response_ids parameter set to the response_id. However, sometimes the API returns an empty response, as if the response couldn't be found. Could this be due to a delay in the response being created? What would you suggest to handle this issue effectively?

Hi
As
So many things happen when a response is submitted, and it involves a lot of systems 
Sometimes, you are lucky; it went fast, and it’s available right away. Sometimes, it takes a few seconds. It's hard to predict.
If you are trying to build a real-time experience, I recommend using Webhooks; they are quite instantaneous.
Otherwise, you would have to implement a loop to call the Responses API at regular intervals until you retrieve the response object.
