| Parameter                  | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |

| `_fields=field[,field...]` | Return only the specified fields in the body of the response.The `field` values are JSON pointers. For example, if the resource is `{"parent":{"child":"value"}}`, `parent/child` refers to the `"child":"value"`.If the `field` is left blank, the endpoint returns all default values. |
| `_prettyPrint=true`        | Format the body of the response.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |
