For example:\r\n```\r\ntry:\r\n    search = serpapi.search(q=\"CoffeeMilk\", api_key=\"\", engine=\"google\", location=\"Austin, Texas\", hl=\"en\", gl=\"us\")\r\n    print(search)\r\n    print(\"----------------\")\r\nexcept Exception as e:\r\n    if \"429\" in str(e):\r\n        print(\"You are being rate limited\")\r\n        print(e)\r\n    else:\r\n        print(\"An error occurred\")\r\n```\r\n\r\n[Intercom](https://app.intercom.com/a/inbox/yzck75jr/inbox/shared/all/conversation/102910000072134?view=List)\r\n\r\nsidenote: we should probably update our `readme` to show how to handle errors.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/hilmanski","@type":"Person","name":"hilmanski"},"datePublished":"2024-11-14T04:53:56.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/17/serpapi-python/issues/17"}
