Python API - TimeOut error

When calling the following Python API the program occasionally crashes with a TimeOut error "HTTPSConnectionPool(host='Opensky-network',port=443):Read timed out. (read timeout=15.0)" . The program file is adapters.py line 529.

states = vOpenSkyClass.get_states(time_secs=vTimeCounter, icao24=None, serials=None, bbox=(51.332387,51.36172,-0.695199,-0.649092)

What do you suggest to circumvent this error? I.e. increase the timeout limit or trap the error handling so the program continues to run?

Thanks.

Richard.

It's better to get a timeout error and handle the exception than to have the program hanging when no timeout is set.
