Path parameters ​

id
string

The ID of the integrated account to use for the request.

Example: 62f44730-dd91-461e-bd6a-aedd9e0ad79d
truto_response_format
string

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.

All possible enum values:
  • unified
  • raw
  • normalized
  • stream
  • debug
Example: unified
truto_ignore_remote_data
