Does the Zoom API have a select statement to limit the data that is sent back? For example, in the [api.zoom.us/v2/meetings/${meetingId}/recordings](http://api.zoom.us/v2/meetings/%24%7BmeetingId%7D/recordings) endpoint I only need the share\_url instead of the entire object that is returned.

Hey @akshay.prabhakaran,

At the moment, it’s not possible to limit what fields are returned in the JSON response for our endpoints, aside from implementing logic on your end based on the scheme provided in the documentation. However, this is a great suggestion for #feature-requests if you’re so inclined. 😀

Best,  
Will
