Customize the API with the &select Operator for Custom Objects
The API supports the &select operator which allows you to return custom objects from the API. Custom objects are slimmed down versions of the full subject-based models the API has used since its inception.
Custom objects are a way to greatly reduce the amount of properties returned from the API. By default, the API returns a full object which has all of the API-exposed properties related to the subject you are using.
