эта функция доступна с 3-й партии пакет.

pip install djangorestframework-queryfields

объявите свой сериализатор следующим образом:

from rest_framework.serializers import ModelSerializer
from drf_queryfields import QueryFieldsMixin

class MyModelSerializer(QueryFieldsMixin, ModelSerializer):
    ...

затем поля теперь могут быть указаны (на стороне клиента) с помощью аргументов запроса:

GET /identities/?fields=id,data

фильтрация исключений также возможна, например, для возврата каждого поля за исключением id:

GET /identities/?fields!=id

запрос

теперь, когда вы запрашиваете ресурс, вы можете добавить параметр fields для отображения только указанных полей в url. /?fields=field1,field2

вы можете найти напоминание здесь:https://gist.github.com/Kmaschta/e28cf21fb3f0b90c597a

такую возможность мы предоставили в drf_tweaks / control-over-serialized-fields.

Если вы используете наш сериализаторы, все, что вам нужно, это пройти ?fields=x,y,z параметр в запросе.
