title: Returning only chosen fields from GitHub API
body: <p>I am playing around with GitHub API and I am wondering whether there is a way to limit the response size, because I want to return only a few fields instead of calling for the whole JSON.</p>
  
  <p>I know that certain APIs have the possibility of limiting by the query, like adding ?fields=field1, field2, etc, but I am not able to do this for GitHub API.</p>
  
  <p>For instance I would like to get only id, name, and private from <a href="https://api.github.com/repos/octokit/octokit.rb" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://api.github.com/repos/octokit/octokit.rb</a>.</p>
  
  <p>I am using Jackson and consume via RestTemplate.</p>
  
  <p>--Edit--<br>
  My main aim is to limit the time of the response. Using plain GH api it works ~185ms, and I want to achieve at least 50ms. Is that even doable at all? </p>
