Throwing error on serpapi.search #17
Description
The developer team from a high-volume customer reached out that we should throw a proper error on the serpapi.search.
I've suggested using a try-catch exception to handle errors. For example:
try:
search = serpapi.search(q="CoffeeMilk", api_key="", engine="google", location="Austin, Texas", hl="en", gl="us")
print(search)
print("----------------")
except Exception as e:
if "429" in str(e):
print("You are being rate limited")
print(e)
else:
print("An error occurred")
sidenote: we should probably update our readme to show how to handle errors.

for high volume workload, I'm in the process of upgrading to aiohttp which x10 faster, and it has a better error handling natively.
