Hi,
I am trying to add timeout ([Timeout=#duration(0,2,0,0)]) to the API to get data from a web source but somehow i am not able to do it succesfully.
Please suggest how to add [Timeout=#duration(0,0,30,0)] in the below code which can run without error.
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
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

Hi @jitpbi
For my SQL database below is the M
Source = Sql.Databases("Server123", [CommandTimeout=#duration(0, 0, 35, 0)])
code which is used.
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
