🎤 Why is this feature needed ?

To improve robustness, this issue focuses on enhancing error handling mechanisms across all API calls in the chat_with_chatbot function. This includes catching network-related issues, providing meaningful error messages, and validating that the API key is present before making any requests.

✌️ How do you aim to achieve this?

API Key Validation: Check that the apiKey variable is not empty before any API requests are made, and raise an error if it is missing.

Error Handling for Network Requests: Add exception handling to catch network errors for all API calls, returning a clear error message in case of a failure.
