How to exclude a field inside the changelog array, from the API response.

[Jawad Zakhour]

I am hitting this API 

https://test.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/search

It returns a vast json file.

I have a problem with this field 

"avatarUrls": {                                "48x48": "https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/a1440042a929a36696d609892772a08e?d=https%3A%2F%2Favatar-management--avatars.us-west-2.prod.public.atl-paas.net%2Finitials%2FTH-2.png",                                "24x24": "https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/a1440042a929a36696d609892772a08e?d=https%3A%2F%2Favatar-management--avatars.us-west-2.prod.public.atl-paas.net%2Finitials%2FTH-2.png",                                "16x16": "https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/a1440042a929a36696d609892772a08e?d=https%3A...}

I need to exclude it from the response.

is there any way to do so?

Is this regarded as an enhancement request?

Hi @Jawad Zakhour 

Direct REST API search returns huge data.

Sample: 

https://test.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/search?jql=key=ABC-1

You can do filtering by adding; "&fields="

Optimized:

https://test.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/search?jql=key=ABC-1&fields=id,key,type,status,customfield_10001

It is possible to indicate system or custom fields as a parameter such as key, status, priority, type etc.

So that, it only returns the needed JSON info and response quickly.

Hope it helps.

Hello Tansu,
The problem is that I need everything except the "avatarURLS" field.
And this field is inside the "changelog"->"Histories"->"author".
And this is the only field that I don't want.
I need the changelog to be present in the response.

Thank you for your time

@Tansu Akdeniz Sorry for bothering, but is there any way to do exclude only the field "avatarURLS" from the response.

[Tansu Akdeniz]

As I know there is no way to exclude it.

Same problem, need to ignore the avatar fields from the response json
