## Path parameters

  The ID of the resource.

## Query parameters

- **`integrated_account_id`** _(string, required)_
  The ID of the integrated account to use for the request.
- **`truto_response_format`** _(string)_
  The format of the response. - `unified` returns the response with unified mappings applied. - `raw` returns the unprocessed, raw response from the remote API. - `normalized` applies the unified mappings and returns the data in a normalized format. - `stream` returns the response as a stream, which is ideal for transmitting large datasets, files, or binary data.
