I hope this isn't a repost - I tried posting once, but something went wrong.

I am trying to read data from a CouchDB database, and would like to be able to use a view with startkey and endkey to limit the documents that are read. I have done some digging around and can't find a way to do this with the built-in CouchDB reader. I can do it with the HTTPCaller, but then have to use a JSONFragmenter to get the documents into individual features, and manually set attributes to be exposed (this is the most cumbersome part).

Am I missing something, or is using the Couch HTTP API and the HTTPCaller the way this needs to be done?

 

@cnieman did you explore the reader parameters for CouchDB reader in FME?

Yes, I don't see a way to select a view. I tried entering the couch http api url for the view in the service url which did not work, and views are not listed in the table list as far as I can tell. I'll check again when I am able later in the week.
