On api.stackexchange.com/docs/create-filter it states:
there are a number of built-in filters which cover common use cases.
Where can I find them? Can you make built-in filters a link?
I need only a few properties in question and answer. I tried creating a filter but it's not returning exactly what I need.
"A number of" might be a bit of a misnomer, as there are a whopping four standard ones:
From the filters documentation:
default, each type documents which fields are returned under the default filter (for example, answers).
withbody, which is default plus the *.body fields
none, which is empty
total, which includes just .total
The page also lists a few filters that can be used for backwards compatibility with API 1.x behaviours, but makes the reasonable assertion that you shouldn't use them for any new application.
