  • url: The API request URL.
  • message: A descriptive error message.

Example:

from randomcoords import RandomCoordsApiError

try:
    # a method call
except ValueError as ve:
    print("Input error:", ve)
except RandomCoordsApiError as api_err:
    print(f"API error {api_err.status_code} at {api_err.url}: {api_err.message}")
except Exception as e:
    print("Unexpected error:", e)
