remove uniqueKey from queue blacklist

Hi all,

Im scraping a weird website which has file attachment links which rotate every 5 minutes or so, eg

https://dca-global.org/serve-file/e1725459845/l1714045338/da/c1/Rvfa9Lo-AzHHX0NYJ3f-Tx3FrxSI8-N-Y5ytfS8Prak/1/37/file/1704801502dca_media_publications_2024_v10_lr%20read%20only.pdf

everything between
serve-file
and
file
changes regularly.

My strategy to deal with this is to calculate the unique key based on the 'stable' parts of the url. Then when i detect the url has changed, I can remove any queued requests with the unique key and replace them with the new url

My question is, if a request has hit its retry limit and has been 'blacklisted' from the request queue, how can i remove it so the new url can be processed?

Thanks!
