“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
API connection timeouts occur when custom scripts attempt large data pulls without proper pagination or when Google Apps Script hits its 6-minute execution limit. Native Google Sheets can’t handle complex API error scenarios or substantial datasets effectively.
Here’s how to eliminate timeout errors and successfully import large datasets without the technical complexity of managing API connections manually.
Avoid timeout errors using Coefficient
CoefficientHubSpoteliminates API timeout issues through optimized data retrieval infrastructure that handles pagination, retry logic, and connection pooling automatically. The platform can import unlimited rows fromand other sources without the memory and execution limits that cause Google Sheets timeouts.
How to make it work
Step 1. Migrate large data imports to Coefficient’s managed infrastructure.
Set up your data imports through the platform instead of custom scripts. Coefficient automatically handles pagination for large datasets and implements intelligent retry logic for temporary failures.
Step 2. Import substantial datasets without size limitations.
Pull unlimited rows (minimum 50,000 guaranteed) without worrying about Google Apps Script memory limits or execution timeouts. The platform manages large data retrieval behind the scenes.
Step 3. Use detailed error reporting for troubleshooting.
When API issues occur, view specific error codes and retry attempts in the sidebar instead of generic timeout messages. This provides clear visibility into what’s happening during data retrieval.
Step 4. Benefit from partial import recovery.
If timeouts occur during large imports, Coefficient can import available data and retry failed portions instead of failing completely like custom scripts do.
