| fields | No | Optional list of specific fields to return **IMPORTANT: ALWAYS USE THIS PARAMETER TO MINIMIZE TOKEN USAGE** Field filtering reduces response payload by 80-90% and is critical for performance. - None or [] = returns all fields (NOT RECOMMENDED - use only when you need complete objects) - ['id', 'name'] = returns only specified fields (RECOMMENDED) Examples: - For basic info: ['id', 'name', 'status'] - For devices: ['id', 'name', 'status', 'site'] - For IP addresses: ['address', 'dns_name', 'vrf', 'status'] Uses NetBox's native field filtering via ?fields= parameter. **Always specify only the fields you actually need.** | |
