[CIVIS-2562] RM drop API response return type "pandas" #473

Closed jacksonlee-civis closed 5 months ago

jacksonlee-civis commented 5 months ago

It's unclear why one would want to deal with an API response as a pandas object. Since "pandas" became an option of the response return type in both this codebase and its internal, private precursor 8+ years ago, it has seen zero internal usage. From users external to Civis, the one time we heard about this usage was when an error was raised (see the linked internal ticket) 4 years ago. All this is to say, it's time to simply drop this "pandas" option to avoid further confusion.
