Query metadata for EntitySet in Dynamics 365 for Operations

Question

When querying https://orgURL/data/Customers. I receive a list with customers.

How can I find out the properties/attributes of a Customer, without querying all metadata -> /data/$metadata

No. The Specification define $metadata for the service root only.

OData services expose their entity model according to [OData-CSDL] at the metadata URL, formed by appending $metadata to the service root URL.
