Request parameters

exclude, include, and filterGroup

Use the exclude and include query parameters to filter a response body when making a request. The query value is a bar (|) delimited list of properties. URL encode the bar as %7C. Use a forward slash (/) before each property name.

Use the filterGroup query parameter to specify whether to return a Big, Medium, or Small response body. Every property in every response body is assigned one of these group sizes.
