Error pushing values

[sibero80]

I have this very simple test script:

from ubidots import ApiClient
import subprocess, re, math, time

# Create an ApiClient object

api = ApiClient(token='####################')

# Get a Ubidots Variable

variable = api.get_variable('####################')

# Here is where you usually put the code to capture the data, either through yo$

count = 1

while(1):

    # Write the value to your variable in Ubidots
    count += 1
    aqi = 30
    print (count)
    print (aqi)
    response = variable.save_value({"value": aqi})
    #print(response)
    time.sleep(4)

But after 40 - 60 seconds of pushing data, I get this exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "ubi3.py", line 26, in <module>

This error is related with a downtime server, I believe that you should capture it inside a try - except

Addressed in v2.0 (#26) — empty responses handled before calling .json().
