You want to request only the id and title fields for articles and only the name field for authors in a single API call. Which query string is correct?

A/articles?fields[articles]=id,title;fields[authors]=name

B/articles?fields=articles(id,title),authors(name)

C/articles?select=articles.id,title&select=authors.name

D/articles?fields[articles]=id,title&fields[authors]=name

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand multiple resource sparse fieldsets
You can specify fields for multiple resources by repeating fields[resource] parameters.
Step 2: Identify correct syntax
/articles?fields[articles]=id,title&fields[authors]=name correctly uses & to separate parameters and brackets for resource names.
Final Answer:
/articles?fields[articles]=id,title&fields[authors]=name -> Option D
Quick Check:
Multiple fields[] params for different resources = /articles?fields[articles]=id,title&fields[authors]=name [OK]

Quick Trick: Use multiple fields[resource] params joined by & for multiple resources [OK]
