Limit Fields From API

Hi Everyone.

I’m trying to sync data from our CRM and Mautic via the API. I’m trying to get the Mautic Contact ID via a API call using something like…

https://mydatabase/api/contacts?search=email:my@email.net

…but i’m getting all the data for that contact passed back (542 rows). Is there a better way to retrieve the Contact ID via the API?

Thanks!!!
