We are trying to get the data using Python requests. We observed that when the execution time is going above 5 minutes from an Actor, the Python request does not get the response back whereas in the Apify portal we could see the execution completes after 5 minutes. We tried to handle this using session handler in Python request but that also ending up in time out. Please check and assist.

Hi!

It is outside of the actor logic - how your integration works with the actor can not be affected by the actor itself. Please check the manual for the Python SDK or ask in Discord.

The safe approach is to use a webhook or check by schedule when the actor is finished. Timeouts are always applied for API requests because run can be done in minutes or in hours, it depends on input and scraped volume.

I will close the issue now, but if there is anything else we can help with, please let us know.
