Sparse fieldsets (select)

The select parameter lets you request only the fields you need, reducing response size and improving readability.

/v4/persons?filter=last_name:Smith&select=id,givenName,familyName

Field names match the actual JSON property names in the response. Dotted sub-paths of a listed field are also accepted.
