Different api timeouts for different api calls

krishna_mfjones

Hi everyone

I see that the default timeout is 7s for all api calls inside connect.py [ correct me if I am wrong]
Is it possible to call the api's with a custom timeout and different one for each?
Eg: while I am fetching quotes I want to keep a timeout of say 3s when I use kite.quote
and while I am placing orders I want to keep a timeout of 10s kite.place_order

So one partial solution I can think of is to make the default value 1s and keep a wait/retry mechanism mechanism for each api with whatever wait time I want before I retry as shown below

##############Sample code##############
    tries =3
    for attempt in range(tries):
           try: 
               #Call your function [ has a timeout of 1s]
           except Exception as e:
               print(e)
               logging.info(e)
               logging.info('Retrying....')
               time.sleep(1) # here I can sleep for the stipulated time before I retry [ 3s, 10s ,etc]
               continue
           else:
               break
    else:
        print('All retries have failed')
        print('Program will stop')
        print('Please handle manually')
        raise SystemExit

@sujith Is there any other better way ? Because technically the timeout has already happened and I am just waiting on my end. Is there a way where I can actually wait for a response dynamically?

Use timeout context
