I'm trying to execute the following to get all buildings within Manhattan in Python on Google Colab
tags = {
'building': True
}
# Geocode the location to get its geometries
ft = ox.geocode_to_gdf('Manhattan Island')
# Extract the polygon geometry from the GeoDataFrame
polygon_geometry = ft.geometry.iloc[0]
# Retrieve features within the polygon with specified tags
buildings_net = ox.features_from_polygon(polygon_geometry, tags=tags)
for some reason, I get this error
TimeoutError Traceback (most recent call last) /usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py in _make_request(self, conn, method, url, body, headers, retries, timeout, chunked, response_conn, preload_content, decode_content, enforce_content_length) 536 try: --> 537 response = conn.getresponse() 538 except (BaseSSLError, OSError) as e:
23 frames TimeoutError: The read operation timed out
The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:
ReadTimeoutError Traceback (most recent call last) ReadTimeoutError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='overpass-api.de', port=443): Read timed out. (read timeout=180)
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
ReadTimeout Traceback (most recent call last) /usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/requests/adapters.py in send(self, request, stream, timeout, verify, cert, proxies) 530 raise SSLError(e, request=request) 531 elif isinstance(e, ReadTimeoutError): --> 532 raise ReadTimeout(e, request=request) 533 elif isinstance(e, _InvalidHeader): 534 raise InvalidHeader(e, request=request)
ReadTimeout: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='overpass-api.de', port=443): Read timed out. (read timeout=180)
I was initially trying to do the following (which does work), you need to specify the distance since it seems to only get by default a 100. I just was to get all the buildings in the region by itself without needing to specify a distance.
tags = {
'building': True
}
# need to change this distance to capture the entire city
building_network = ox.features_from_address('Manhattan Island', tags, dist=3000)
Is there a way to go around this timeout error?
