Nested properties on sales_invoices

[Chris Astles]

I am trying to retrieve all invoices from the /sales_invoices GET endpoint, but only with certain attributes, like the contact (including all the nested_attributes).

If I run 

/sales_invoices?attributes=status,currency,total_amount,contact&nested_attributes=all

The contact is returned only with id, displayed_as and path.

I noticed in the docs there is no mention of nested_attributes as a query parameter, but in the guides, sales_invoices is used as the example of how to search with nested_attributes, so there is a bit of inconsistency.

The only way I can get the attributes I need is to search with attributes=all but this slows the request down considerably.

Hi Chris

Apologies for the late response. 

The API at present does not fully comply with oData specs hence why we try not to reference nested_attributes  in the docs where possible. In this scenario, it may be more efficient to make an additional call to the contacts/id endpoint to obtain those attributes you require.

Thanks
