Hi Joe,

prof:sleep should do the job [1].

Hope this helps,

Hi all,

I'm retrieving content from a list of URLs with BaseX (via the http:send-request function) and appear to be hitting rate limits on the remote server. I'd like to pause for 5 seconds between requests. In eXist, I'd use util:wait [1] to handle this pause. Is there an equivalent in BaseX? Or is there a different approach in BaseX?

Thanks!

Joe
