Timeout exception yet uploaded the data

[kadnan]

I am having a weird issue. I am using API for a Woocommerce setup on my local machine. Onr running I am getting the exceptions:

Traceback (most recent call last):

When I checked on the site the product was there! This is the code I am using:

from woocommerce import API


def add_product(wc):
    data = {

        "type": "simple",
        "regular_price": "1221.99",

            }
        ],
        "external_url": 'http://adnansiddiqi.me'
    }
    print(wc.post("products", data))


if __name__ == '__main__':
    KEY = 'XXX'
    SECRET = 'XXX'

    wcapi = API(
        url="http://localhost/shop.ab/",
        consumer_key=KEY,
        consumer_secret=SECRET,
        version="wc/v3"
    )

    # r = wcapi.get("products")
    # products = r.json()
    # print(len(products))
    add_product(wcapi)

I'm having the exact same problem and the product also get created. To be fair I don't really mind the errors as everything still seems to work perfectly fine, but how can you deal with it to still incorporate the product creation in a working program?

Set the timeout around 20 seconds in the API() constructor and it should work for you then.

Had to set it to 30 for it too work. Our site is indeed quite slow so that might be the culprit. Thank you!

Hello, thanks for reporting it.

This one is an issue with requests library, you can issue more details in psf/requests#5291
My advice besides changing timeout it's to implement a try/catch to handle those errors.

I'm closing for now since it's an issue from requests and there's some workarounds for it.

@claudiosanches I am getting this error as well. I have tried increasing the timeout to 30, 50, and even 100 but it doesn't
seem to work. Is there any work around?

[singcang]

me too :(
