Timeout Error. Do I condense my code or make other calls?

[willyamwu]

Firstly, this api wrapper is wonderful and provides so much vital information. Thank you to all who have worked on it!

I keep running into this timeout error (shown below) and based on looking at some previous issues, it might be because my code is pulling from the api too much. Here is the rough rundown of my code and the endpoints I am using. I'm wondering if I'm calling too much or there is some other issue.

1. I'm pulling the current games that are happening on a certain date. LeagueGameFinder(date_from_nullable=yesterday_date_string, date_to_nullable=yesterday_date_string, league_id_nullable='00')
2. I'm getting the list of players that played in the game. BoxScoreTraditionalV2(game_id=game_id)
3. Getting their names. players.find_player_by_id(player)['full_name'], ": N/A"
4. Using BoxScoreSummaryV2(game_id=game_id) and connecting it to the game ids I had earlier to get the full names of the teams playing.

Since there are a lot of games that can go on in a day and a lot of players there can be 100+ calls I think. Is there an endpoint that gives you this information faster?

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
