Body of a comment in a jira issue via REST API

[dharm6619]

I want to fetch only body of a comment on a jira issue but currently I'm getting whole content as - 

{
"self": "url over here",
"id": "185626",
"author": {
"self": "committer username ",
"name": "name",
"key": "key",
"emailAddress": "email-id",
"avatarUrls": {
##### URLS OVER HERE #####},
"displayName": "LN, FN",
"active": true,
"timeZone": "CET"
},
"body": "Here if the actual message",
"updateAuthor": {
"self": "committer username ",
"name": "name",
"key": "key",
"emailAddress": "email-id",
"avatarUrls": {
##### URLS OVER HERE #####},
"displayName": "LN, FN",
"active": true,
"timeZone": "CET"},
"created": "2019-09-19T10:15:46.697+0200",
"updated": "2019-09-19T10:15:46.697+0200"
}

But I want to access only body from this output 
How can I do it?

I don't think you can get comment body alone directly from the REST end point.

The output you shared is in JSON format. You can parse the JSON object and just extract body element value using JSON path: $.body in your script

Isn't there any method at the time of rest api call which can filter this?. 
For example - for fetching comments - we can give fields as fields=comment... 
similarly a is it possible to provide a field inside the comment field itself???

@dharm6619 there is no option to filter only body while making the RESP call.
