It would be nice to have a transformer where you could query a REST service (both Feature Service and Map Service) and have all of the fields be autoparsed out as attributes.

Feature service is there already with Online, Portal and Server feature service readers, but as you say image services are not supported.

I meant as a transformer instead of a reader, so you can take attributes from features and do a query on them with various REST services.

Would a Feature Reader not work for this? Building the URL based on certain attributes to then send as a query? Or are you trying to get the schema back from the service first and then work with that?

That's how I think I'm gonna have to tackle it now, but I have to then parse out the json (which means like 2+ transformers). I was hoping for 1 nice transformer where you could provide a URL and the where clause (and the other inputs that the query supports) and output the results as attributes (or a list - which ever makes more sense).

That might actually do the trick :P I never thought of using the feature reader!

That's what I usually use for reading online services, either with a creator beforehand or maybe a polygon going in to define a spatial filter (where possible). It's a very flexible way of doing things.
