# Forcing Timeouts

When dealing with websites that require longer load time for the full DOM, BrowserAPI's default timeout value may result in an error caused by the fact that the page didn't had enough time to finish loading.

In that particular case, you may want to tweak the load time by passing the `timeout=$value` parameter.

Your full **GET** request should then be sent to the following address:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
https://api.webscrapingapi.com/v1?api_key=<YOUR_API_KEY>&url=<TARGETED_URL>&timeout=$value
```

{% endcode %}

### Timeouts Integration Examples

{% tab title="cURL" %}
{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```bash
curl --request GET --url "https://api.webscrapingapi.com/v1?api_key=<YOUR_API_KEY>&url=https://httpbin.org/get&timeout=200"
```

{% endcode %}
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="NodeJS" %}
{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```javascript

  "port": null,
  "path": "/v1?api_key=<YOUR_API_KEY>&url=https%3A%2F%2Fhttpbin.org%2Fget&timeout=200",
  "headers": {}
};

const req = http.request(options, function (res) {
  const chunks = [];

  res.on("data", function (chunk) {
    chunks.push(chunk);
  });

  res.on("end", function () {
    const body = Buffer.concat(chunks);
