Desk API List all contacts returns less fields than contact find

Desk API List all contacts returns less fields than contact find

Hi,
I've noticed a problem with using GET /api/v1/contacts method. It does not return many important fields, like custom fields, address fields or social url fields - comparing to GET /api/v1/contacts/{contact_id}.

For now the only solution what I see is to fetch contacts ids from the list response and then to do to single contacts fetch. This is very unefficient way (specially that users have rate limit on their accounts).

Is there an option to request improvements to the list method (to return the same schema like find method or for example to include something like fields param, so we could request only needed fields - it could be more efficient than first option in many cases). Some other way could be for example request batching (we could request in such case multiple finds by single server API  call).

How do you see this? Do you find it possible to implement  with future API revisions?
Best,
Lukas
