Pull Request Overview
This PR enhances the example files by adding consistent error handling for research operations. The changes ensure that example scripts gracefully handle error responses from the MegaBot's research functionality, improving the robustness and user experience of the example code.
Key Changes:
- Added error checking for research results in
basic_usage.pyandadvanced_research.py - Added defensive
.get()method usage for optional fields to prevent KeyError exceptions - Ensured consistent sys.path manipulation across example files (validation_example.py and monetization_example.py already have this pattern)

Description
Example files crashed when research operations were blocked by free tier monetization limits. The code attempted to access result dictionary keys (
topic,aggregated_sources) that don't exist in error responses. Two examples also failed to import themegabotmodule due to missing path configuration.Fixes issue with example files crashing on monetization-blocked operations.
