    <p>According to <a href="https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/config/cron" rel="nofollow">https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/config/cron</a> cron jobs can run for 10 minutes. However, when I try and test it by going to the url for the cron job when signed in as an admin, it times out with a DeadlineExceededError. Best I can tell this happens about 30 seconds in, which is the non-cron limit for requests. Do I need to do something special to test it with the cron rules versus the normal limits?</p> <p>Here's what I'm doing:</p> <ul> <li>Going to the url for the cron job</li> <li>This calls my handler which calls a single function in my py script</li> <li>This function does a database call to google's cloud sql and loops through the resulting rows, calling a function on each row that use's ebay's api to get some data</li> <li>The data from the ebay api call is stored in an array to all be written back to the database after all the calls are done.</li> <li>Once the loop is done, it writes the data to the database and returns back to the handler</li> <li>The handler prints a done message</li> </ul> <p>It always has issues during the looping ebay api calls. It's something like 500 api calls that have to be made in the loop.</p> <p>Any idea why I'm not getting the full 10 minutes for this?</p> <p>Edit: I can post actual code if you think it would help, but I'm assuming it's a process that I'm doing wrong, rather than an error in the code since it works just fine if I limit the query to about 60 api calls.</p>

    1. COYou did not show your log. I expect you receive the deadline from an API call and not from the cron job. Probably your API deadline code or API deadline exception terminates your cron job.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
