How can I troubleshoot API timeouts?

I'm experiencing timeouts when calling my API. What should I check first?

First, check the server logs for any errors or slow responses. Also, ensure your API is not overloaded.

What if the logs don't show anything unusual?

In that case, consider checking your network latency and the performance of the database the API relies on.

Could it be an issue with the API rate limits?

Yes, if you're exceeding rate limits, the API may throttle your requests, leading to timeouts.

How can I test if rate limiting is the issue?

You can monitor the response headers for rate limit information or implement exponential backoff in your requests.
