-s flag: malformed JSON sent to receivers when Geekbench scores are empty

[markovic-nikola]

Hello and thanks for your hard work on this project.

Summary

When YABS is run with -s <url> and the Geekbench score variables happen to be empty YABS POSTs invalid JSON to the receiver endpoint. Strict JSON parsers (PHP json_decode, Python json.loads, etc.) reject the body.

Reproduction

I ran on a Debian 13 VPS curl -sL https://yabs.sh | bash -s -- -j -w /tmp/yabs.json -s "https://example.com/yabs/upload"

Validate the written JSON:
python3 -m json.tool < /tmp/yabs.json > /dev/null
Error: Expecting value: line 1 column 2115 (char 2114)

The geekbench section in the produced JSON is:
"geekbench":[{"version":6,"single":,"multi":,"url":"https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/123456"}]
"single":,"multi":, is invalid - JSON requires a value (e.g. null) after each colon.

Environment

• YABS version: v2026-04-29
• VPS: DigitalOcean, Debian 13, 4 GB RAM, 2 vCPU
• Default Geekbench 6 (no -4/-5 flag)

Hi.

I believe this is actually already being discussed in:
#124

This is basically a problem stemming from the issue causing GB6 to fail. Now that is fixed, it's a new one.

It's related to it, yes, but malformed JSON output can be fixed without waiting for Geekbench resolution.

Fixed in 873f780.

For now, the JSON output will show:

"geekbench": [
    {
      "version": 6,
      "single": null,
      "multi": null,
      "url": "https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/17960433"
    }

I am in contact with the Geekbench devs. We should have a fix in place in the near future.
