Functions should not exit on requests.exceptions.RequestException

[doug-the-guy]

I'm using this API from another script and I've been dealing with the following error:

("Connection broken: ConnectionResetError(104, 'Connection reset by peer')", ConnectionResetError(104, 'Connection reset by peer'))

I tracked it down to the enterprise LiveHunt function I was using which was catching a requests.exceptions.RequestException, printing the exception and then calling exit(1) which left my script hanging. This is the case for every function that wraps an API endpoint.

I recommend instead to just raise the RequestException or wrap it in some custom exception and let the calling code deal with it.
