What's the best python code for pulling API data? Need help with my script! or Struggling to write py

Ugh, APIs are the worst until they work. Here’s a tip: always wrap your python code for pulling api data in a try-except block. Saved me so many headaches:

```python
try:
response = requests.get(url, timeout=5)
response.raise_for_status() # catches HTTP errors
data = response.json()
except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
print(f"Oops, something broke: {e}")
```

For rate limits, check if the API returns headers like `X-RateLimit-Remaining`. If not, just add delays.

P.S. FastAPI’s docs have solid examples too!
