Timeout error

[caro-acdm]

I am using this api in a python script in a try-except loop... ideally it should run indefinitely in cycles of 15-20 seconds. in each cycle, it is calling this api to get a bunch of flights a given bound. Usually it runs fine, but every now and then, it gives out a connection timeout error. Is anyone else facing the same problem? Also, can this problem be solved by getting a premium account?

This is the error log:

It is a connection problem on your network.

If you still have this problem, try inserting verify=False at this line. Let me know if it solves the problem.

It could even be your DNS resolver that is unable to resolve the FR's address.

I added verify=False as you said: self.__response = request_method(url, headers=headers, cookies=cookies, data=data, verify=False) It didn't solve the problem. I will look into my DNS resolver also.

I'm closing this issue for now.

If you get any problem else using the project, feel free to open another issue.

Best regards,
