handle_api_error(func)

Decorator to handle APIError exceptions in methods that interact with pystac-client.

This decorator wraps methods of the StacBase class that call self.ps_client, catching APIError exceptions and logging them using the instance's logger.

If the logger attribute is not found or is None, it falls back to printing the error.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
func	Callable	The method to be wrapped.	required

Returns:

Name	Type	Description
Callable		The wrapped method that catches and logs APIError exceptions,
		then raises a RuntimeError.
