Support for Socrata Headers?

[RUDelerius]

Sorry if this isn't the appropriate place to ask about this. Please close it if not. I'm working on my very first python script and I've been looking for a way to get the field names and data types for just the record set returned by my query.

client.get_metadata() returns all fields, but I want to build a dictionary using just the fields in my results.

Response headers X-SODA2-Fields (and X-SODA2-Types) should return a set limited to just the fields returned by the get() request.

Is this something that could be supported? I can see in utils.py the response header is processed for response codes, but cannot find anything that processes these fields. Or maybe I should just use requests instead?

Totally! I can take a look at this later in the week. If you want to try to implement it before then, feel free to send a PR.

After thinking about this more carefully, yeah I think you should just use requests directly. If I understand your request correctly, what you want is actually something that constitutes the "Transform" part of ETL. This library is primarily concerned with the "Extract" layer.

Thank you for your consideration.
