truto_response_formatstring

The format of the response.

unified returns the response with unified mappings applied.
raw returns the unprocessed, raw response from the remote API.
normalized applies the unified mappings and returns the data in a normalized format.
stream returns the response as a stream, which is ideal for transmitting large datasets, files, or binary data. Using streaming mode helps to efficiently handle large payloads or real-time data flows without requiring the entire data to be buffered in memory.
debug returns the final unified result alongside raw remote fetch information. The response is an envelope containing result (identical to unified mode output) and debug (with requestUrl, requestOptions, data, responseHeaders, and for list operations: nextCursor, isLooping, isEmptyResult, resultCount). debug is null for static responses or when truto_skip_api_call=true.

Defaults to unified.

Example: unified

Possible values:

unifiedrawnormalizedstreamdebug

truto_ignore_remote_databoolean

Excludes the remote_data attribute from the response.

truto_exclude_fieldsstring[]

Array of fields to exclude from the response.

Example: truto_exclude_fields[]=id&truto_exclude_fields[]=name

remote_queryRecord<string, any>

Query parameters to pass to the underlying API without any transformations. Refer this guide to see how to structure the query parameters.

Example: remote_query[foo]=bar
