How do you limit the response fields on an api rest service using curl? While I have the response variables limited to the ones I want in the rest service it returns the entire collection, all of the fields. So what do I need to pass along to limit the collection fields that are returned?

Can you put a $select=field1,field2,field3 in the url?

Thanks!

I found the solution. You append ?proj=insert-encoded-json-here to the $url variable.

You can construct that value with Projection as shown here:

Hello!

Thank you for update!

this was helpful to me. thks
in case sb interested in server code:

// projection on those fields only
params.proj = { '_id': 1, 'fieldName1': 1, 'fieldName2': 1, 'fieldName3': 1 };

// the query ...
var query = Collection.query(DB_id, collectionName, params );
