  1. Error: Missing timeout argument for method 'requests.get' can cause your program to hang indefinitely
  2.  
  3. The requests.get method in the Python requests library is used to make HTTP requests to a specified URL. One of the arguments that can be passed to this method is a timeout value, which specifies the maximum amount of time that the request should take before it is considered to have failed. If the timeout argument is not specified, the requests.get method will wait indefinitely for a response from the server. This can cause your program to hang and not make any further progress. To avoid this, it is recommended to always specify a timeout value when using the requests.get method. For example:
  4.  
  5.  
  6. response = requests.get(url, timeout=10)
  7.  
  8.  
  9. This code specifies a timeout value of 10 seconds, so if the server does not respond within that time, the requests.get method will raise a requests.exceptions.ReadTimeout error.
