Add Request Timeout on API level

[Pankhuri Agarwal]

I would like to know if there is any django rest native method to add request timeouts at API level.

Any api having request timeout set to x ms should return response {'status_code': 408, 'message': 'Request Timeout'} after x ms if no other response is returned till that time.

There isn't a native request timeout in Django, however you can configure your hosting WSGI server (at least gunicorn and uWSGI) to have a request timeout, and indeed it's recommended. I'm not sure how hard it would be to implement this (reliably, for all cases and platforms) inside Django.
