The query parameters show and hide allow clients to requests a limited set of properties.In addition to reducing the amount of data transferred, this can be helpful in reducing errors caused by additional features added in a release update.show specifies which properties the client will receive. hide specifies which properties will be removed from the response.Both must contain a comma separated list of properties.For the properties of the main object this is pretty straight forward. Sub-objects added via eager loading come in 2 flavors:
1.
single sub-object, e.g. collection or address for an order format: related object.property
2.
list of sub-objects, e.g. order_rows format: related objects.*.property or related objects.item #.property
Please note that * can be used to show or hide all properties of a sub-object.Examples:
As shown in the last example show and hide can be combined. This is primarily useful if you want specific properties from the main object and hide properties from related objects.
