+## How to set timeout?
+
+You can use the setTimeout method to set the timeout duration in seconds during requests.
+
+```cpp
+#include <fstream>
+#include "libcpp-http-client.hpp"
+
+using namespace lklibs;
+
+int main() {
+    HttpRequest httpRequest("https://api.myproject.com");
+    
+    // You can set the timeout in seconds
+    auto response = httpRequest
+                    .setTimeout(3) // 3 sec
+                    .send()
+                    .get();
+    
+    return 0;
+}
+```
