3 parameters
fieldsarray<string>optional
A comma-separated list of attributes to include in the response. This can be used to request fields that are not normally returned in a standard response. Be aware that specifying this parameter will have the effect that none of the standard fields are returned in the response unless explicitly specified, instead only fields for the mini representation are returned, additional to the fields requested.
offsetintegeroptional
The offset of the item at which to begin the response. Queries with offset parameter value exceeding 10000 will be rejected with a 400 response.
Default:0
limitintegeroptional
The maximum number of items to return per page.
