Hi!
> I am facing a problem where I can’t get enough
data for my project. So is there anything that can be done to extend the limit of queries
as they timeout ?
If you have queries that take longer than timeout permits, the options
usually would be:
1. Working with Wikidata dumps, as mentioned before
2. Looking into optimizing your query - maybe timeout happens because
your query is too slow. Check out
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:SPARQL_query_service/query_optimizat…
and
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Request_a_query .
3. Download information in smaller chunks using LIMIT/OFFSET clauses.
Note that this doesn't speed up query itself.
4. Use LDF server:

Depending on what data do you need, there probably would be the options.
