    Hi jitpbi,

    As official document mention, the 'timeout' property should be an optional parameter that host in the same level as 'relativepath' and 'header'.

    Web.Contents 
    I think you can try to add a comma after the 'query' and append it with the 'timeout' property.

    let
    rooturl = "https:/xxxx.xxxx.com/",
    authKey = "xxxxx",
    Source =
        Web.Contents(
            rooturl,
            [
                Headers = [
                    #"Authorization" = authKey,
                    #"Content-Type" = "application/json"
                ],
                RelativePath = "xxx/xxx/xxx",
                Query = [
                    startdate = xxxx,
                    enddate = xxxx
                ],
                Timeout = #duration(0, 0, 35, 0)
            ]
        )
in
    Source

Thanks Anonymous  for the comment. I can add the timeout in single line URL and it works. Actually long single url doesn't work in refresh so i need to break the url in small parts, like in my first post, where i am not able to add timeout properly.

thanks
