Currently this is not possible

There is already a popular feature request for it. You can "start" it to increase visibility and hopefully accelerate the implementaiton.

Until then:

  • Implement a try...catch statement and try the request again if it times out
  • If the URL you fetch supports a callback argument, then you can deploy your script as a WebApp. You then ping your API to make the request, and once these are ready the API could send them back to your WebApp.
