No image in the API response

Awesome, it’s working ! Thanks a lot.

I need a little explanation though, why all my fields are shown by default(text, boolean, date, etc …) but not the image field ?

Why do I need to specify the populate=* to get it ?

I saw this in the docs “By default, relations are not populated when fetching entries.”

But “image” is a field, not a relation ?
A relation is when we bound two categories together right (like Post and Category)?
