+Error catching
+--------------
+
+Handling missing data from both APIs is done with error catching (namely ``ValueError`` and ``TypeError``).

+Musicbrainz provides a schema for their api. If this were to be placed in a production environment then readdressing this should be a priority - we should be checking the values returned, using the schema as a guide, and replacing missing values accordingly. We should not rely on ``try except`` blocks to do this as it can be unreliable and is prone to raise other errors.
