def find_api_page(obj, version=None, openinbrowser=True, timeout=None):
"""
Determines the URL of the API page for the specified object, and
optionally open that page in a web browser.
.. note::
You must be connected to the internet for this to function even if
``openinbrowser`` is `False`, unless you provide a local version of
the documentation to ``version`` (e.g., ``file:///path/to/docs``).
Parameters
----------
obj
The object to open the docs for or its fully-qualified name
(as a str).
version : str
The doc version - either a version number like '0.1', 'dev' for
the development/latest docs, or a URL to point to a specific
location that should be the *base* of the documentation. Defaults to
latest if you are on aren't on a release, otherwise, the version you
are on.
openinbrowser : bool
If `True`, the `webbrowser` package will be used to open the doc
page in a new web browser window.
timeout : number, optional
The number of seconds to wait before timing-out the query to
the astropy documentation. If not given, the default python
stdlib timeout will be used.
Returns
-------
url : str
The loaded URL
Raises
------
ValueError
If the documentation can't be found
