  • Added an explicit except UnicodeDecodeError block in get_response to prevent crashes when requests encounter improperly encoded URLs.
  • Used urllib.parse.quote to safely encode usernames (e.g., with accents like 'Émile') to ASCII before constructing request URLs. This ensures that searches for usernames with special characters complete successfully.

This is my first commit, would love to hear some suggestions.
