Field selection

The fields query parameter controls which top-level groups appear in each application object. id is always included.

Groups

Group	Contents
personal	Applicant identity from the submission profile (name, email, phone, DOB, gender, nationality, education level, last school, location).
application	Program/cycle/campus ids + resolved names, admission stage, decision, decision_sent, enrolled, and timestamps.
payment	paid flag and amount.
answers	Raw questionnaire responses keyed by question id. File uploads become signed download URLs.

Presets

fields value	Expands to
default (or omitted)	personal, application, payment
all	personal, application, payment, answers

Custom selection

Pass a comma-separated list of group names (or aliases):

?fields=personal,application
?fields=application,answers

Aliases: profile→personal, status/meta→application, payments→payment, responses/documents/docs→answers. Unknown tokens are ignored; if nothing valid is requested, the default preset is used.
