Select query parameter

Select

Use $select to choose which properties of a resource should be included in a response.

This parameter is supported by selected Catalog API endpoints. It is not documented in the current DAM OpenAPI specification.

When to use `$select`

Use $select when an integration only needs a subset of fields.

This can reduce response size, simplify processing, and make synchronization jobs easier to debug.

Syntax

$select=PROPERTY_NAME,ANOTHER_PROPERTY_NAME

Example:

GET https://api2.saleslayer.com/catalog/Products?$select=prod_ref,prod_title

Supported properties

The property names must match the resource metadata exposed by the Catalog API. Use metadata endpoints to inspect available fields before building dynamic requests:

GET https://api2.saleslayer.com/catalog/Products/$metadata
GET https://api2.saleslayer.com/catalog/Categories/$metadata
GET https://api2.saleslayer.com/catalog/Variants/$metadata

Example response

{
  "value": [
    {
      "prod_ref": "PROD-001",
      "prod_title": {
        "en": "Example product"
      }
    }
  ],
  "@count": 1,
  "@readLink": "https://api2.saleslayer.com/catalog/Products?$select=prod_ref,prod_title"
}

Notes

$select applies to properties of the requested resource.
Use exact property names from metadata.
Combine $select with $filter, $orderby, and pagination when supported by the endpoint.
If a field is missing from the response, verify that it was included in $select and is available for the resource.
