Selecting Fields
In many endpoints you'll find a fields
query parameter that can be passed to the endpoint. You can use the fields
query parameter to specify which fields in the entity should be returned in the response.
Please note that if you pass a fields
query parameter, only the fields you pass in the value along with the id
of the entity will be returned in the response.
Also, the fields
query parameter does not affect the expanded relations. You'll have to use the expand
parameter instead.
Selecting One Field
For example, when you retrieve a list of products, you can retrieve only the titles of the products by passing title
as a value to the fields
query parameter:
curl "http://localhost:9000/store/products?fields=title"
As mentioned above, the expanded relations such as variants
will still be returned as they're not affected by the fields
parameter.
You can ensure that only the title
field is returned by passing an empty value to the expand
query parameter. For example:
curl "http://localhost:9000/store/products?fields=title&expand"
Selecting Multiple Fields
You can pass more than one field by seperating the field names in the fields
query parameter with a comma.
For example, to select the title
and handle
of the products:
curl "http://localhost:9000/store/products?fields=title,handle"
Retrieve Only the ID
You can pass an empty fields
query parameter to return only the ID of an entity. For example:
curl "http://localhost:9000/store/products?fields"
You can also pair with an empty expand
query parameter to ensure that the relations aren't retrieved as well. For example:
curl "http://localhost:9000/store/products?fields"
