Suggested changes in Stories API to get list of stories without specific attributes

[ershadul-hoque]

We were working at our end to modify the Story API so that we can get a list of stories without specific attributes (when needed). One thing we kept in mind is that we can't change the current API result format since there may be other apps/services who are using the same API. So, we're proposing one format below which can be used in 2 different ways, requesting suggestions from others:

/api/v1/stories/org/{org}/?fields=content,summary

Option 1: We can exclude those attributes (content,summary) from the API result

Option 2: We can only include those attributes (content,summary) in the API result (by excluding everything else)

Which should be the best way to move forward?

/api/v1/stories/org/{org}/?fields=content,summary

should return the stories with only the content and summary

If you want to exclude them you can use

/api/v1/stories/org/{org}/?exclude=content,summary

And yes the default should be what is currently returned.
