Selecting fields

It is possible to specify which fields should be returned in the response. For that, it is necessary to specify select parameter with string of fields separated by comma. All fields you receive in response (results) are available for selection.

To return some nested fields of some other field it is possible to declare nesting by / symbol. In case if field and his nested fields are selected in one query, only the root field will affect.

Examples:

-select=image/dataGovernance/source/link,image/dataGovernance - in that case image/dataGovernance/source/link will be ignored -select=image/dataGovernance

Information

Max depth of supported fields nesting is 7. (e.g. for root/nested1/nested2/nested3/nested4/nested5/nested6/nested7/nested8 query nested7 and following will be ignored)

Warning

link property doesn't support nested selecting (properties like link.url, link.type will be ignored).
