Best approach for fetching only certain fields in api response_

[bozonja]

Hi guys!

1. First question: What would be the best approach for fetching only certain fields in api response?
   Is it with fields parameter or?
   I´ve noticed this works fine for the title and text:
   http://127.0.0.1:1337/api/posts?fields=title,text
   But what if I want an image property also?
   If you look at my example from the uploaded screenshot there are many other properties.
   I only want 3 fields. (title, text, and image).
2. Second question: Can meta be removed from API response?
3. Third question: Is it better to populate or not? (faster requests maybe?)
   Thank you very much!

Use “populate” and “fields”
http://127.0.0.1:1337/api/posts?fields[0]=title&fields[0]=text&populate[image][fields][0]=url
