Response Time information for a request

[TachyonFlare]

Does unirest have any api to know the response time for call ?

[heyman]

I don't know if they measure the time and expose it through their API. From glancing over http://unirest.io/python.html it doesn't look like they do.

Fortunately it's trivial to measure it yourself like this:

from time import time
start_time = time()
unirest.get(...)
elapsed_time_ms = (time() - start_time()) * 1000

See the documentation for more info on how to write a custom client for Locust:

Actually this requirement is due to locustio/locust#197 (comment) , since i am unable to schedule the calls in advance using locust, I am trying to use nodejs as an alternative for my requirement. I dint want to add the timer functions everywhere i make a call , so i wanted to know if unirest exposed any such api.

Oh, sorry, I ended up on this issue from a link (probably from your github22 profile page) and somehow mistakenly thought this was an issue created under the Locust project.

My bad, you can ignore my above comment then :).

I think the best way is to do it like @heyman has mentioned
