I am developing a python script to download the data of feature layers from MapServer. While hitting a empty feature layer (published layer with fields but no features), the query returns just the object id.
Hitting the following Query
mapservicequery_jsondata = json.loads(urllib2.urlopen(url).read())
where
url = urltoMapserverwithLayerID+ '/'+ ("query?where=1%3D1&returnGeometry=true&returnCountOnly=false&returnIdsOnly=" + "false&outFields=*&f=pjson&token="+token)
The output in json it gives is:
{
"objectIdFieldName": "OBJECTID",
"globalIdFieldName": "",
"features": []
}
How can I get the fields (i.e. schema) of the empty feature layer downloaded?
