UrlFetchApp Timeout

[KGuiste1]

Hi,

I've been trying to utilise the below script code:

var HTTP_OPTIONS = {

    muteHttpExceptions: true

};

var newUrl = "https://www.adobe.com/at/acrobat/pricing.html"

try{

      response_code = UrlFetchApp.fetch(newUrl, HTTP_OPTIONS).getResponseCode();

} catch(e){

  log(e);

}

After 6 minutes of trying I get this:

Exception: Timeout: https://www.adobe.com/at/acrobat/pricing.html

can you help me figure out why UrlFetchApp is timing out?

Hi, the problem is with the specific URL you're using, not with UrlFetchApp

Btw: remember to check with the robots.txt file before you start scraping. Not everyone appreciates bots on their sites

Hello,

I’m James from the Google Ads scripts support team. Thank you for reaching out to us.

I concur with the suggestion given by Sigurd. However, I believe that it’s best if you consult this with the Apps script support team as they are more knowledgeable with the functionality and behavior of the said UrlFetchApp. Take note that the UrlFetchApp method is not Google Ads script specific method but instead it is built in method within App Script. 

That said, could you please reach to the Google Apps Script support team by following the given instructions on this guide?

Regards,
