Overview

Configuring request timeouts in Xano APIs is key for your app's smooth performance when responses are delayed. It's about setting a time limit for your API to reply to client requests. If the server takes longer than this period, the request is cut off, so your app doesn't hang around forever. Handling these timeouts well boosts user experience and overall app efficiency. Knowing how to set these timeouts effectively in Xano is vital for developers looking to get the most out of their API.

How to configure request timeouts in Xano APIs?

Step 1: Log in to Xano

First things first, make sure you're logged into your Xano account. You can't do much without being logged in, right?

Step 2: Navigate to the API Endpoint

Head over to your Xano dashboard. Once you're there, find the API section. Look for the specific API endpoint you want to tweak and click on it.

Step 3: Edit the Endpoint

Now, click on "Edit Endpoint" for the API endpoint you picked. This is where you can change all sorts of settings and configurations.

Step 4: Scroll Down to Timeout Settings

In the edit view, scroll down until you find the "Timeout" settings. Usually, it's tucked away in a section called Advanced Settings or something similar.

Step 5: Set the Timeout Value

Set the timeout value to whatever you need. It's usually in milliseconds. So, if you want a 5-second timeout, you'd enter 5000. Easy peasy.

Step 6: Save Changes

Once you've set your timeout value, don't forget to hit the "Save" button. This will apply the changes to your API endpoint.

Step 7: Test the Endpoint

After saving, it's a good idea to test the API endpoint. Make a request to see if the timeout settings are working as you expected. Fingers crossed!
