如何确定 requests.get 是否超时？

Question

In this line of code:

request = requests.get(url, verify=False, headers=headers, proxies=proxy, timeout=15)

How do I know that timeout=15 has been triggered so I can send a message that url did not send any data in 15 seconds?

Answer 1

If a response is not received from the server at all within the given time, then an exception requests.exceptions.Timeout is thrown, as per Exa's link from the other answer.

To test if this occurred we can use a try, except block to detect it and act accordingly, rather than just letting our program crash.

Expanding on the demonstration used in the docs:

import requests

try:
    requests.get('https://github.com/', timeout=0.001)
except requests.exceptions.Timeout as e:
    # code to run if we didn't get a reply
    print("Request timed out!\nDetails:", e)
else:
    # code to run if we did get a response, and only if we did.
    print(r.headers)

Just substitute your url and timeout where appropriate.

Answer 2

An exception will be thrown. See this for more info.
