Read time out error

Imran · November 2018

while accessing historical data read timeout error is frequent. I am using pykiteconnect, Python 3.6.6, windows 8.1

error

raise timeout('The read operation timed out')
socket.timeout: The read operation timed out

and
urllib3.exceptions.ReadTimeoutError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='api.kite.trade', port=443): Read timed out. (read timeout=7)

and
requests.exceptions.ReadTimeout: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='api.kite.trade', port=443): Read timed out. (read timeout=7)

how shall i remove it

this worked for me:

    while True:
        try:
            # do stuff
        except SomeSpecificException:
            continue
        break

but why this problem was occuring

This can happen because request would have timed out by the time data is fetched from the database.
I will ask the data team to look into this.

@sujith

This issue still persists. Please look into it.

Easy way for retrying is by plugging in urllib3 `Retry` into the kiteconnect pool param.
It would something like this

pool_opts = {"max_retries": Retry(...)}
kite_client = KiteConnect(api_key="API_KEY", access_token="TOKEN", pool=pool_opts)

refers these links for more info

Make sure to use appropriate `backoff_factor` when creating `Retry` obj.

Howdy, Stranger!
