You can check at the website here

When you try to browse a website, you can specify the timeout value directly:

requests.get('http://github.com', timeout={timeout_value} )

  • Let me explain my question. I am looking for suggestion on the number of seconds or minutes which need to be used as timeout_value and not how to use the API. – nebi Aug 10 '16 at 06:16
  • However long you (your users, your processes) are willing to wait before considering the request a failure, after taking into account how long the request takes under normal circumstances. – HBruijn Aug 10 '16 at 06:29
  • @HBruijn FOr my application, it will be OK to have read timeout for larger value like 30 secconds, but for connect timeout I haven't done any profiling, I wanted to have sense how long its OK to wait before declaring a connection is timeout. Is there any RFC guidelines or standard ? – nebi Aug 10 '16 at 06:40
