cli-reference:cli-datasette-get,cli-reference,cli-datasette-get,datasette --get,"The  --get  option to  datasette serve  (or just  datasette ) specifies the path to a page within Datasette and causes Datasette to output the content from that path without starting the web server. 
                 This means that all of Datasette's functionality can be accessed directly from the command-line. 
                 For example: 
                 datasette --get '/-/versions.json' | jq . 
                 {
  ""python"": {
    ""version"": ""3.8.5"",

                 You can use the  --token TOKEN  option to send an  API token  with the simulated request. 
                 Or you can make a request as a specific actor by passing a JSON representation of that actor to  --actor : 
                 datasette --memory --actor '{""id"": ""root""}' --get '/-/actor.json' 
                 The exit code of  datasette --get  will be 0 if the request succeeds and 1 if the request produced an HTTP status code other than 200 - e.g. a 404 or 500 error. 
                 This lets you use  datasette --get /  to run tests against a Datasette application in a continuous integration environment such as GitHub Actions.","[""CLI reference"", ""datasette serve""]",[]
