Pull request overview
This PR enhances the serpapi.HTTPError exception class to expose essential diagnostic information—specifically the HTTP status code and error message—making it easier for API consumers to handle different error scenarios according to SerpApi's documented Status and Error Codes.
Key Changes:
- Added status_code and error properties to HTTPError by implementing a custom __init__ method
- Added unit tests to verify the new exception attributes work correctly
- Updated integration tests to validate the new properties in real-world scenarios
