getItemData() throws JSON parsing error if data is empty

See original GitHub issue

The error is:

Fetch item data error. SyntaxError: Unexpected end of JSON input
    at eval (VM12042 request.js:134)

If the data is empty, this function could return null instead of forcing consuming apps to test for the above error.
