## CruxClientError

`CruxClientError` will be raised when the client encounters an error prior to reserving a response from the API.

- **message:** The error reported by the client

## CruxClientHTTPError

`CruxClientHTTPError` is raised when client encounters HTTP related errors.

## CruxClientTooManyRedirects

`CruxClientTooManyRedirects` is raised when client encounters too many redirects.

## CruxClientConnectionError

`CruxClientConnectionError` is raised when client encounters Proxy and SSL related errors.

## CruxClientTimeout

`CruxClientTimeout` is raised when client timeouts.

    print("Error creating client:", e.message)
    raise
finally:

    raise
