[ALEXDINO7]

this is my used code

import pandas as pd
from duckduckgo_search import DDGS

search_query = "dog"
results = DDGS().text(keywords=search_query,region='wt-wt',safesearch= 'off',max_results=50)
results_df = pd.DataFrame(results)
results_df.to_csv('USA_Dogs.csv',index=False)

after first run I get this errors
