python - Error R10 (Boot timeout) -> Web process failed to bind to $PORT within 60 seconds of launch

Question

I am deploying a python script at heroku, which will make a request to another server after every 3 minutes.

Deployment is going good but when i see the logs, I got these errors.

Procfile

web: python script.py --log-file -

script.py

import sys
import requests
from apscheduler.schedulers.blocking import BlockingScheduler

sched = BlockingScheduler()

@sched.scheduled_job('interval', minutes=3)
def timed_job():
    try:
        request = requests.get(url='https://royal-tag-services.herokuapp.com/api/sms-service/scheduler/')
    except Exception as e:
        print >>sys.stderr, 'scheduler request failed'

sched.start()

Replace "web" with "worker" in your Procfile.
