Includes

Depending on your client's needs, you may want to have all of a resource's information available in the response of a related resource. Instead of just receiving the [reference](doc:references) (an abbreviated form of the related resource), including a type of resource will make all resources of that type contain their [full set of fields](#section-resource-schema-and-types) in the response. Includes are specified with the `include[]` parameter. The values allowed in an `include[]` parameter vary from endpoint to endpoint, but will always be the pluralized type of a resource or the pluralized name of a resource field representing the relationship between resources. [block:api-header] { "type": "basic", "title": "Example" } [/block] In the below example, the `/incidents` API is accessed with and without including `services`. Note how including `services` causes a full `Service` [schema](doc:resource-schemas) (with type `service`) to be displayed in the `service` field of the incident, while without the `include[]` the `service` field contains a `ServiceReference` [schema](doc:resource-schemas)) (with type `service_reference`).
