Socrata's Open Data Network features docs for each dataset. In this case,

Have you tried out the Socrata Labs "Catalog" API?

http://labs.socrata.com/docs/search.html

That includes most of the metadata as well as the view counts for each dataset. You can filter it down to just Chicago data using the domain= filter:
