Many objects allow you to request additional information as an expanded response by using the expand query parameter. This parameter is available for entities and accounts, and applies to the response of that request only.

In many cases, an object contains the ID of a related object in its response attributes. For example, an Entity might have an associated CreditScore ID. You can expand these objects in line with the expand query parameter. The expandable label in this documentation indicates ID fields that you can expand into objects.

You can expand multiple objects at the same time by identifying multiple items in the expand array. Performing expansions on list requests might result in increased response times.

​
Props

​

enum[]
