Timeout on requests #11

Closed SamStephens closed 3 weeks ago

SamStephens commented 3 weeks ago

All usages of requests are done without a timeout (for example here is the QueryApi request). As per the requests documentation, "Nearly all production code should use this parameter in nearly all requests. Failure to do so can cause your program to hang indefinitely".

I'm making requests from AWS Lambda. What I'm encountering is that sporadically my Lambda hangs until it times out. I'm not sure what the cause is, but if I was getting requests.exceptions.Timeout thrown from requests, I'd be able to retry the request after a timeout.

Absolutely. Refer to https://github.com/janlukasschroeder/sec-api-python/issues/12
