I removed all of the json.loads() calls and I'm still getting that Undefined error.

I'd prefer it if errors in these template fragments were displayed as errors inline where the fragment should have been inserted, rather than 500ing the whole page - especially since the template fragments are user-provided and could have all kinds of odd errors in them which should be as easy to debug as possible.

More investigation in pdb: ``` (dogsheep-beta) dogsheep-beta % datasette . --get '/-/beta?q=pycon&sort=oldest' --pdb

This is the template fragment it's rendering: html+jinja <div style="overflow: hidden;"> <p>Tweet by <a href="https://twitter.com/{{ display.screen_name }}">@{{ display.screen_name }}</a> ({{ display.user_name }}, {{ "{:,}".format(display.followers_count or 0) }} followers) on <a href="https://twitter.com/{{ display.screen_name }}/status/{{ display.tweet_id }}">{{ display.created_at }}</a></p> </p> <blockquote>{{ display.full_text }}</blockquote> {% if display.media_urls and json.loads(display.media_urls) %} {% for url in json.loads(display.media_urls) %} <img src="{{ url }}" style="height: 200px;"> {% endfor %} {% endif %} </div>

Looks like its happening in a Jinja fragment template for one of the results: ``` /Users/simon/Dropbox/Development/dogsheep-beta/dogsheep_beta/init.py(169)process_results() -> output = compiled.render({result, {"json": json}}) /Users/simon/.local/share/virtualenvs/dogsheep-beta-u_po4Rpj/lib/python3.8/site-packages/jinja2/asyncsupport.py(71)render() -> return original_render(self, args, kwargs) /Users/simon/.local/share/virtualenvs/dogsheep-beta-u_po4Rpj/lib/python3.8/site-packages/jinja2/environment.py(1090)render() -> self.environment.handle_exception() /Users/simon/.local/share/virtualenvs/dogsheep-beta-u_po4Rpj/lib/python3.8/site-packages/jinja2/environment.py(832)handle_exception() -> reraise(rewrite_traceback_stack(source=source)) /Users/simon/.local/share/virtualenvs/dogsheep-beta-u_po4Rpj/lib/python3.8/site-packages/jinja2/_compat.py(28)reraise() -> raise value.with_traceback(tb) <template>(5)top-level template code()

Neat, I can debug this with the new --pdb option:

datasette . --get '/-/beta?q=pycon&sort=oldest' --pdb

I have sort by date now, #21.

It would be useful if you could pass an --accept option to this.

Bug with endpoints that return dictionaries rather than arrays: github-to-sqlite get /users/simonw [ "login", "id", "node_id", "avatar_url", "gravatar_id", "url", "html_url", "followers_url", "following_url", "gists_url", "starred_url", "subscriptions_url", "organizations_url", "repos_url", "events_url", "received_events_url", "type", "site_admin", "name", "company", "blog", "location", "email", "hireable", "bio", "twitter_username", "public_repos", "public_gists", "followers", "following", "created_at", "updated_at" ]

Fun demo of the --nl option:

github-to-sqlite get /users/simonw/repos --paginate --nl | sqlite-utils insert simonw.db repos - --nl

Documentation: https://github.com/dogsheep/github-to-sqlite/blob/b02bf135485c0a7a3768868967f45a6b5e515289/README.md#making-authenticated-api-calls

I'd like a --paginate option that does the same thing as https://github.com/simonw/paginate-json

I'm going to start with github-to-sqlite get and github-to-sqlite post - I may add put and suchlike later on.
