How can I get a user's Meta site details in the API call?

Question

This query returns the details of the Main sites only:

        /associated-users#ids=2855348

How can I get the Meta site details also in the same query?
Do I need to add any other filter or to use some other query?

From the doc page for the /users/{ids}/associated route:

You can filter the network_users returned by this method with the types parameter. Specify, semicolon delimited, main_site or meta_site to filter by site.

So this means that for just a user's meta accounts you would use, for example:

        /2.2/users/2855348/associated?types=meta_site

---

For both a user's regular accounts and his meta accounts you would use:

        /2.2/users/2855348/associated?types=meta_site;main_site

---

All that being said, note that there is currently a relevant bug with this API route:

• Badge numbers are wildly erroneous for meta accounts returned by the /associated query
