## \[V3 REST API] Returning and Omit Parameters

Returning and omit parameters are now available on all listing and get by id endpoints in the V3 REST API. You may specify them at request-time to change the top-level properties that are returned in the response object. Specify returning to include properties and specify omit to exclude properties. The two lists must be mutually exclusive.
