A suggestion, maybe the size of response data can be reduced by only requesting fields version and short.

Looks good to me.

@cqi, good suggestion but the API doesn't seem to honor the fields keyword:
https://pdc.fedoraproject.org/rest_api/v1/product-versions/?fields=short,version

@mprahl, the documentation is not correct, it works like this: https://pdc.fedoraproject.org/rest_api/v1/product-versions/?fields=short&fields=version

@lsedlar thanks! That worked.

Using urlencode seems incorrect, which returns active=True&fields=%5B%27short%27%2C+%27version%27%5D.

Instead of encoding params manually, how about pass query_args to requests.get argument params?

I changed it in the latest rebase but we should probably make this consistent in the rest of utils.py in a separate PR.

@cqi can you look again please?

Looks good to me. Thanks.

@cqi is this good to merge?
