How can I disable a getJSON request if it hasn't completed in one second and move onto the next one?

setInterval(function() {
    $.getJSON('https://example.com', function(data) {
        console.log(data)
    });
}, 1000);

Currently every second, my script outputs data from a JSON file in the console log.

However if it does not do this in time, the requests build up and a huge backlog appears! How can I cancel the current getJSON request and move onto the next one if it has not completed in the time frame?

You can get the xhr object and kill it with abort evertime.

var xhr = $.getJSON('https://example.com', function(data) {
    console.log(data)
});

//kill the request after 500ms
setTimeout(xhr.abort, 500);
