How to query the blocks dynamic zone exists the article content-type?

Discord Q&A strapi-questions
1

My query is like:

const urlParamsObject = {
filters: { slug },
populate: {
cover: { fields: [‘url’] },
authorsBio: { populate: ‘’ },
category: { fields: [‘name’] },
blocks: { populate: '’ }
},
};

but the blocks parts give me 500: InternalServerError

I tried
populate: {
cover: { fields: [‘url’] },
authorsBio: { populate: ‘*’ },
category: { fields: [‘name’] },
blocks: {
on:{
‘blocks.rich-text’: {
populate: [‘content’]
},
},
},
},

but it does not response me the rich text content in the API outputs.

Anyone has ideas of how to write this query? Thanks in advance.

BTW, I am using Strapi V5.

I figured it out, it just as simple as api/articles?populate=*
it returns level ones components. works for me so far.
