rest - Naming convention for a RESTful resource that returns a list of entities with most properties hidden? -


we have endpoint, let's call

/items 

which returns list of items. endpoint returns properties on items, , ends returning lot of data, since each item pretty heavy json object.

at moment, i'm looking @ creating lightweight varsion of endpoint can used reduce bandwidth, , returns limited number of properties (e.g. item.name , item.year).

is there naming convention such endpoint?

i thinking along lines of

/lightweight-items 

or similar.

is there naming convention such endpoint?

not i've heard of. /lightweight-items implies there resources called 'lightweight-item', not true.

i suggest add query option specify data need, like

/items?properties=name,year 

where name,year ones want have retrieved
