How do I skip if the response is 404 using python requests? [duplicate]

Question

for user in comments['comment_id']:
  try:
    get_profile(user)
  except urllib.error.HTTPError:
    continue

and I have gotten error like this, I don't know how to solve this problem

<ipython-input-38-c9a67ae2e3f1> in <module>()
      2 for user in comments['comment_id']:
      3   try:
----> 4     get_profile(user)
      5   except urllib.error.HTTPError:
      6     continue

/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/requests/models.py in raise_for_status(self)
    939 
    940         if http_error_msg:
--> 941             raise HTTPError(http_error_msg, response=self)
    942 
    943     def close(self):

HTTPError: 404 Client Error: Not Found for url: https://m.facebook.com/344608967148594/about/

What is get_profile? Is it using the requests module? Because it looks like you are just catching the wrong HTTPError class. — Gino Mempin

While this works, it catches all exceptions, not just the 404 response. It's best practice to catch a specific exception.
