include_related_objects

boolean

If true, the response will include additional objects that are related to the requested objects. Related objects are defined as any objects referenced by ID by the results in the objects field of the response. These objects are put in the related_objects field. Setting this to true is helpful when the objects are needed for immediate display to a user. This process only goes one level deep. Objects referenced by the related objects will not be included. For example,

if the objects field of the response contains a CatalogItem, its associated CatalogCategory objects, CatalogTax objects, CatalogImage objects and CatalogModifierLists will be returned in the related_objects field of the response. If the objects field of the response contains a CatalogItemVariation, its parent CatalogItem will be returned in the related_objects field of the response.

Default value: false

catalog_version
