Server error 500 getting sensor data

[davidherbert2]

http://uoweb3.ncl.ac.uk/api/v1.1/sensors/json?theme=Vehicles&sensor_type=Car%20Count currently returns:

<h1>Server Error (500)</h1>

http://uoweb3.ncl.ac.uk/api/v1.1/sensors/json?theme=Air%20Quality&sensor_type=NO2 returns the expected JSON. The former was working correctly on Friday 12th March. Not sure what has changed, but would appreciate if you could take a look at this a.s.a.p as it is holding me up somewhat.

David, Car Count is variable so
http://uoweb3.ncl.ac.uk/api/v1.1/sensors/json/?theme=Vehicles&Variable=Car%20Count Works fine

Thanks for this Phil - the parameter "Variable" isn't documented as existing however, and under "sensor_type" we have "Subset the sensors by the variables​ that they record". At least, I am looking at http://uoweb3.ncl.ac.uk/api_docs/doc/sensors-json/. So a bit confusing I think? David.

you call should work David. Not sure why it's now returning 500. I'll have a look

Not sure of the semantic difference between sensor type and variable. I've always used variable.
