- The "Exit on Option 1" Bug
- What was fixed: Wrapped the main() function logic in a while True: loop and updated execute_option.
- Why: Previously, the script executed an option and then reached the end of the main() function, causing it to close. The loop ensures that after a task is finished, the program jumps back to the menu instead of exiting the terminal.
- SSL Handshake Failure (TikTok/Social Media Error)
- What was fixed: Added a User-Agent header to the requests.get call and wrapped the request in a try/except block.
- Why: High-security sites like TikTok block "headless" scripts that don't look like a real browser. Adding a User-Agent mimics a legitimate user (Chrome on Windows). The try/except prevents a single connection error from crashing the entire program.
- Request Timeouts
- What was fixed: Added timeout=5 to the requests.get parameters.
- Why: Without a timeout, if a website is down or extremely slow, your script would "hang" indefinitely. Now, if a site doesn't respond in 5 seconds, the script skips it and moves to the next one.
- Key Discovery: Safe Dictionary Access (.get)
- What was fixed: Changed ip_data["timezone"]["current_time"] to ip_data["timezone"].get("current_time", "N/A").
- Why: This prevents a "KeyError" crash. If the API doesn't return a "current_time" for a specific IP, the old code would crash the script. Using .get() tells Python: "Try to find the time; if it's not there, just use 'N/A' instead of breaking."
