API enhancement request

[coop]

I’m using the /search API call as part of my Obsidian plugin to control Syrinscape. I’m using it for auto-completion, so it needs to be fast.

Since I only need a couple of fields, returned and I assume that other integrations might be in the same situation (but wanting different fields), I’m wondering if I included what fields I needed returned could reduce the amount of time needed for the request to process, and possibly also reduce load on the Syrinscape servers.

So my request is: augment the search API to accept an additional optional parameter which specifies what fields I want returned with the search request. E.g. f=pk&f=meta.album_title

Heya,

This is more complicated and will benefit from actual dev conversation I think… so I’ll connect you via email to Tai and Ryan (in reply to this same request there). They can give you more better info and ask more questions as they need. Let me know if you don’t see that email come through.

Cools?

Thanks for putting me in contact with the Devs. I’ve replied.
