Errors are not properly raised when df = True

Similar error when the API is not returning any data, resulting in a KeyError: 'date.local' when usingdf=Trueinstead of returning an emptyDataFrame` (see also current test build failure).

For example:

api.measurements(
            city='Delhi',
            parameter='pm25',
            location='Anand Vihar',
            limit=5,
            df=False)

returns

(200,
 {'meta': {'name': 'openaq-api',
   'license': 'CC BY 4.0',
   'website': 'https://docs.openaq.org/',
   'page': 1,
   'limit': 5,
   'found': 0,
   'pages': 0},
  'results': []})

Whereas

api.measurements(
            city='Delhi',
            parameter='pm25',
            location='Anand Vihar',
            limit=5,
            df=True)

in

...
KeyError: 'date.local'

Would it be an option if I try to provide a quick fix in the pandasize decorator to return an empty DataFrame when no results are returned? This would at least provide be more informative than the current error.

Yup! That sounds great.
