JSONDecodeError when Pinnacle returns a error page instead of data

>>> from pinnacle.apiclient import APIClient
>>> api = APIClient(name, passwd)
>>> api.reference_data.get_leagues(29)

I guess this might related to encoding, but not sure how to fix it yet.

Ok, I found that it's because Pinnacle API is not allowed to be called from the U.S. so it returns a html saying this information, which will fail the JSON parser.

I guess we need some error handling here.
