how to use the timeout method?

How do we use Unirest timeout method, I have this code but its not working

 public function __construct($api_key, $additional_headers = array()) {
        Unirest::timeout(200);
        AbcClass::$api_key = $api_key;
        Unirest::defaultHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
        Unirest::defaultHeader("key", AbcClass::$api_key);
        foreach ($additional_headers as $key => $value) {
        Unirest::defaultHeader($key, $value);

        }
    }

I also try

    function getCost($origin, $destination = array(),$weight, $courier = NULL) {
    Unirest::timeout(200);
    $params = array(
        'origin' => $origin,
        'destination' => $destination,
        'weight' => $weight
    );
    if (!is_null($courier)) {
        $params['courier'] = $courier;
    }

    return Unirest::post(AbcClass::$base_url . "cost", array(), http_build_query($params));
}

}

I suggest you review the README docs again, your code for making a POST request is wrong.

Hi, Thank you again @ahmadnassri, i've try to put the timeout method in the constructor and it doesn't work and then actually I have no idea where to put the timeout method again,
maybe this code is not good practice but check this out (i'm using laravel)

        // get all shipping cost from one city to every city
        Route::get('/{origin}/{courier}', function ($origin,$courier) {

        $client = new AbcClass("apikey");

        $cities = $client->getCity();
        $body = $cities->body;
        //get allcity array
        $allCity = $body->abcapi->results;
        //make new post request for each city
        foreach ($allCity as $city) {
    $costs = $client->getCost($origin, $city->city_id, 1000, $courier);
        $value = $costs->body;
    $cost = $value->abcapi->results[0]->costs[0]->cost[0]->value;

    echo $city->city_id . "," . $city->city_name . "," . $cost . "<br/>";
     }

the code is working but it stops in the middle because of maximum exceed 60 sec.
Do you have suggestion?
Sorry for asking this in here.

sounds like the time out on the PHP level is still triggering, not unirest.
