Groq API APIConnectionError: what it means and how to fix it

What it means

Raised by the Groq Python SDK when it cannot connect to the API, for example due to network connection problems or a timeout. On timeout the subclass APITimeoutError is raised; requests time out after 1 minute by default.

Causes

• Network connection problems
• Request timeout (APITimeoutError)

How to fix it

1. 1
   Fix 1.

   Connection errors and timeouts are retried 2 times by default with a short exponential backoff; tune with max_retries.

2. 2
   Fix 2.

   Configure the request timeout (default 1 minute).

   Snippet

   Copy

   client = Groq(
       # 20 seconds (default is 1 minute)
       timeout=20.0,
   )
