in reply to LWP::UserAgent Get timing out after few request

Without being able to test or read the API docs I would suggest uncommenting your sleep and raising it from 3 to 5 or even 10. Also, setting $ua->timeout(120) or something in case it's just the service bogging down under any load Missed that you already had a much higher one. Might not be the case but it is possible to configure unlimited GETs while restricting the frequency or amount of data transferred.

    Thanks but had not luck I increased the sleep time to 10 and 15 made no difference. Also played around with timeout (both increasing and decreasing seem to make no difference)

      Is this a public API that any of us could play with or something closed or paid?

        unfortunately it is an closed API (else I would have gladly posted the URL)...on another note I tried using the REST::Client instead of LWP::UserAgent and it worked that is it did not time out. 

         sub getUserInfov {
  my($userId) = @_;
 my $userURI = 'https://xxx.com/api/m1/request/'. $partnerId. '/users/
+   
 print $userURI, "\n";
 
 my $client = REST::Client->new();
 $client->addHeader('Authorization', $authHeaders);
 $client->GET($userURI);
 # my $userContent = decode_json( $client->responseContent());
 # print Dumper($userContent);
 print 'Response: ' . $client->responseContent() . "\n";
 print 'Response status: ' . $client->responseCode() . "\n";
 foreach ( $client->responseHeaders() ) {
 print 'Header: ' . $_ . '=' . $client->responseHeader($_) . "\n";
 }
 # return ($userContent);
 

 
 #sleep (3);  
 
      }
