Error encountered "NoneType' object has no attribute json #15

I got this log dump from a client. This error can be handled from the calling code, but I wanted to share this stack trace in the hopes it can be cleared up on the garc end.

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'json'

Best guess at what's happening

I believe that this line: account_id = self.get(account_url).json()['id']

Is returning a None value when gab happens to be down, therefore None.json() throws this exception.
