How To Filter Postman API Results - api

Question

I am running this GET API query in Postman - https://[myDomain].atlassian.net/wiki/rest/api/space/ which returns the below results.
However, I'd like to filter out the results to display or return only some specific data, e.g. only the id, key, name, homepage and webui values. How can I achieve this in Postman?

IMO, you can't directly filter results to show in postman response tab.
However, you can achieve your goals by 2 work-arounds.
Use visualization function:
Put this code to your Tests tab
var template = `
<table bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<tr>
<th>id</th>
<th>key</th>
<th>name</th>
<th>homepage</th>
<th>webui</th>
</tr>
{{#each response}}
<tr>
<td>{{id}}</td>
<td>{{key}}</td>
<td>{{name}}</td>
<td>{{_expandable.homepage}}</td>
<td>{{_links.webui}}</td>
</tr>
{{/each}}
</table>
`;
pm.visualizer.set(template, {
response: pm.response.json().results
});
Use logging function:
Put this code to your Tests tab
const res = pm.response.json().results;
res.forEach(e => {
let x = {
"id": e.id,
"key": e.key,
"name": e.name,
"homepage": e._expandable.homepage,
"webuid": e._links.webui
}
console.log(x)
})
