When working with Google APIs, developers will likely come across the concept of "field masks" to reduce the amount of data returned in the response payload from an API. Knowing what field masks are and how to use them is a skill all Google Developers should have. In this first of a 2-part video series, engineer Wesley Chun shows viewers how to use field masks for “partial response” and why you should consider doing so. Featured are JavaScript & Python code snippets using various (Google Drive, Sheets, Gmail) APIs to demonstrate how to use field masks! In part 2, you’ll learn about using field masks in update API requests as well as some general tips on using field masks.
