Code function for requests > 5 seconds

[ngromann]

I am trying to take adventage of the code functionality to change the request URL of an action. However the documentation says that "Your script must finish execution within 5 seconds".  

Does this time include the duration of the actual request? And would that mean, I can't use scripts, if my api takes longer than 5 seconds?

The answer is yes. It includes the time to the backend

Thanks for making this clear. This makes this feature in my point of view unusable, as small latencies (for example the startup time of the service when in idle) would result in errors.

It's designed to solve smaller problems that could not be solved otherwise in a connector. For task heavy operations you should extend your service and just create a connector action instead.
