I have a case where I have to keep checking the response of a GET call until I see the status as success in the api response. And it takes around 20 to 50 mins to get the status from active to success. Only when I see this status I can perform my other action.

How can I achieve that in python?

I tried this polling python library. But it's not much of a help.

This is my code. But it's not working how I want. Is there any other way to do this?

    try:while True:response = requests.get(f'{os.environ["BASE_URL"]}/syncs/076532', headers=headers)json_res = response.json()if json_res.get('status') != 'success':logging.info("Polling started.......")logging.info("Waiting.......")time.sleep(120)print("Got status as success. Proceeding......")sys.exit()except KeyboardInterrupt:logging.info("exiting")sys.exit()

Thanks in Advance

You can try this:

def custom_request(url: str, headers: dict):if requests.get(url=url, headers=headers).json().get('status') != 'success':logging.info("Polling started.......")logging.info("Waiting.......")return Falsereturn Truedef main():try:polling.poll(custom_request,step=60,args=(f'{os.environ["BASE_URL"]}/syncs/076532', headers),poll_forever=True)print("Got status as success. Proceeding......")exit()except KeyboardInterrupt:logging.info("exiting")exit()

What difficulties have you faced by using polling?
