How do I specify nested fields (e.g., creator.name) when calling the search API?

Troy Gizzi
Troy Gizzi March 25, 2015

The following API call will return a lot of unnecessary information under the "creator" field:

  • /rest/api/2/search?fields=creator

I just want the creator's name, so I tried the following alternatives:

  • /rest/api/2/search?fields=creator.name
  • /rest/api/2/search?fields=creator/name
  • /rest/api/2/search?fields=creator-name

But none of those work.

Is there a way to limit the result details to specific nested fields?

Sadly there is not a way to achieve what you are looking for. By default, it will respond with this, and there isn't a way to limit that result. 

Best of luck.
