How to return/$select only required attributes in Graph API response

Question

I have endpoint below,

https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/deviceManagement/detectedApps/de0783f6a94960672b1bcb37ddf9b8565af/managedDevices

It returns an Array called "value" as follows.

---

{
"@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/$metadata#Collection(microsoft.graph.managedDevice)",
"@odata.count": 2,
"value": [
{
"id": "111-0d5d3d0d8921",
"userId": null,
"deviceName": "DESKTOP-XYZ1",
"ownerType": "unknown",
"managedDeviceOwnerType": "unknown",
"managementState": "managed",
"enrolledDateTime": "0001-01-01T00:00:00Z",
},
{
"id": "111-0d5d3d0d8922",
"userId": null,
"deviceName": "DESKTOP-XYZ2",
"ownerType": "unknown",
"managedDeviceOwnerType": "unknown",
"managementState": "managed",
"enrolledDateTime": "0001-01-01T00:00:00Z",
},
]
}

I need only the id attribute in the response, as follows. Is this achievable?

---

{
"@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/$metadata#Collection(microsoft.graph.managedDevice)",
"@odata.count": 2,
"value": [
{
"id": "111-0d5d3d0d8921",
},
{
"id": "111-0d5d3d0d8922",
},
]

}

Hello @AzurePixel

You need to add ?$select=id at the end of your call as shown below:

https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/deviceManagement/detectedApps/de0783f6a94960672b1bcb37ddf9b8565af/managedDevices?$select=id

Select parameter can have multiple values as well in comma separated format. For example:

https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/deviceManagement/detectedApps/de0783f6a94960672b1bcb37ddf9b8565af/managedDevices?$select=id,deviceName
