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.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. Modified at 2025-07-22 14:55:46
