💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'all' returns all fields, not sparse fields.

Using 'id' or 'email' selects different fields, not 'name'.

Using fields=name tells the API to return only the 'name' field for each user.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using semicolons or spaces instead of commas.

Reversing the order is okay but must use commas.

The fields parameter uses commas to separate multiple fields. So fields=name,email selects both 'name' and 'email'.
