Error: Cannot unpack non-iterable NoneType object

Sometimes when I run the script, I face this issue, but after some time, it works properly. What exactly is the issue behind this?

Thank you for reporting this issue! The error "Cannot unpack non-iterable NoneType object" typically occurs when a function or operation is expected to return an iterable (like a tuple or list) but instead returns None. Based on your description, it seems the behavior is inconsistent—sometimes the script works as expected, and other times it raises this error.

This inconsistency might be caused by:

1. Unexpected Input or Edge Cases: The script might encounter scenarios where certain functions fail to return the expected values, leading to None being returned.

2. Network Issues: If the script relies on external resources (e.g., downloading website data), intermittent network problems could result in incomplete or failed operations.

3. Error Handling: There might be missing error handling in parts of the code where functions are expected to return valid data but fail silently.

If you can share more details about the specific part of the code where this error occurs, I’d be happy to assist further. Let me know if you need help implementing any of these suggestions!

I don’t have much detail, but the issue is inconsistent it sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t across all links.

No problem. I will try some links and see if I can reproduce the error and update the script to handle this better.
I will keep this issue up until we get to the issue.
Thank you again for reporting :)
