Fields not returning any additional data

[ppfenning]

My team and I are trying to migrate from pygeocodio to geocodio-library-python.

We commonly use additional fields when getting batched data.

When testing this API, we found that using the following input we receive no field information:

Input:

geocoding_client.geocode(
    {"city": "Burlington", "state": "VT", "street": "149 Church St", "postal_code": "05401"},
    fields=["census2010", "census2020", "census2023", "census2024"],
)

Output (fields only):

GeocodioFields(
    timezone=None, 
    congressional_districts=None, 
    state_legislative_districts=None, 
    state_legislative_districts_next=None, 
    school_districts=None, 
    census2000=None, 
    census2010=None, 
    census2011=None, 
    census2012=None, 
    census2013=None, 
    census2014=None, 
    census2015=None, 
    census2016=None, 
    census2017=None, 
    census2018=None, 
    census2019=None, 
    census2020=None, 
    census2021=None, 
    census2022=None, 
    census2023=None, 
    census2024=None, 
    acs=None, 
    demographics=None, 
    economics=None, 
    families=None, 
    housing=None, 
    social=None, 
    zip4=None, 
    ffiec=None, 
    riding=None, 
    provriding=None, 
    provriding_next=None, 
    statcan=None
)

Whereas the pygeocodio API with a comparable input provides the following field info:

As we rely on these additional fields, and would love to move over to this API, we wanted to raise this as a concern.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I can confirm that there indeed appears to be a bug in the library when attempting to add census field appends. We are working on a fix.

Thanks for the quick response!
