Read timeout error #38

Closed mansjun closed 6 years ago

mansjun commented 6 years ago

when I run results = client.get("s6ew-h6mp") in python, I get below error, any idea how I can fix it?

ReadTimeout: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='data.consumerfinance.gov', port=443): Read timed out. (read timeout=10)

This is a network error, which is unrelated to the functionality of this wrapper library. Check your internet connectivity and try again.

is it because the file is too large or because API version issue 2.0 vs 2.1? because if I run

results = client.get("s6ew-h6mp", limit=50000) it works, it doesn't work if limit beyond 50000, it return timeout error.

This is a question for the socrata devs, and unrelated to the functionality of this library. If you experience high latency when fetching a large number of records, you can set a custom timeout when you initialize the client. https://github.com/xmunoz/sodapy/blob/master/sodapy/__init__.py#L25
