node and socket.io multiple API calls hang after a while

Question

I have a node express/ socket application where my express server makes several API calls with node-rest-client looping through elements in var jobs and when each finishes, it s

It turned out to be the client.get() request causing the error. Here is my code to fix this. It still errors, but at least the error is handled and wont cause the node server to crash. If there is a more eloquent way of handling this, please let me know!

setInterval(function(){
  var jobs = ['J1', 'J2', 'J3', 'J4'];
  var full_data = {};
  for(var i = 0; i < jobs.length; i++){
    client.get("MY URL", function (data, response) {
        io.sockets.emit('progressbar', data);
      }).on('error', function (err) {
        console.log('something went wrong on the request', err.request.options);
    });
  }
  console.log(full_data);

}, 5000)
