Twitter Timeouts?

[vdirects]

When I run Twitter API code through Python using Tweepy, after a few hours of the code running I get an error message:

tweepy.error.TweepError: Failed to send request: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='api.twitter.com', port=443): Read timed out. (read timeout=60)

It seems Twitter has a timeout limit that stops access after a certain point? Or not? Is this a Twitter API issue, or a python one?

Good question. If you’re not getting an error code back from api.twitter.com then the chances are this is a network, HTTP stack, or Python issue. Is there any way for you to enable any more detailed logging?

I’m not sure…Here is the full message:

  Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "file.py", line 348, in <module>
        searchFollowers(screenName)
      File "file.py", line 169, in searchFollowers
        for follower in client.lookup_users(user_ids=ids[i:i+batchAmount]):

This is what i received and i suspect it is because of network.

`tweepy.error.TweepError: Failed to send request: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='api.twitter.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /1.1/statuses/update.json?status=Hello+Python+Central%21 (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.VerifiedHTTPSConnection object at 0x059547F0>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 11001] getaddrinfo failed'))`

I didnt yet found a solution to it.

Thanks

Are you still seeing this error? I didn’t see anything internally that would have caused this.
