500 internal server error when rendering JSON

When I am sending back this response from moralis as json I receive a 500 error. However, if I remove the metadata parsing then it sends back the result with all the metadata. Leaving the loop in, If I console log, userNFTs I get the response I want as json, it is just erroring on the server and not sending the json to the page.

router.get('/usernfts', async (req, res) => {
  try {
    const options = {
      chain: 'eth',
      address: '0x8a08e3Ce6CED24d376a13C544E45d4DDa02FaFEA'
    }
    await Moralis.start({ serverUrl, appId })
    const userNFTsRes = await Moralis.Web3API.account.getNFTs(options)
    let userNFTs = userNFTsRes.result
    for (const item of userNFTs) {
      let metadata = JSON.parse(item['metadata'])
      let image = metadata['image'] ? metadata['image'] : false
      if (image.startsWith('ipfs')) {
        image_url = image.replace('ipfs://', '')
        formated_url = `https://ipfs.io/ipfs/${image_url}`
        item.image = formated_url
      } else {
        item.image = image
      }
    }
    res.json(userNFTs)
  } catch (err) {
    res.status(500).json({ error: err })
  }
})

The error is caused while getting the metadata, as the fourth object has null metadata. Try executing without try{} catch(err) {}
