Manage Collections

A collection resource represents a list of items, such as accounts, assets, data table records, or transactions. You can filter, sort, paginate, and expand your collection resources to make large result sets easier to use and consume. For instance, you might only want to select a subset of information from a transaction, instead of the entire data set.

You can manage data returned from a collection or hierarchical object using the following parameters.
