# Addressing Object Properties There are several URL Parameters where you will need to name specific properties of an object (like filter and fields). Generally speaking, see the endpoint's Response Attributes section for the properties that are available. Here are a few rules to keep in mind when constructing the property names. * The name of a property on an object is addressed using dot notation like `object.property`. E.g. `disciplines.grades` * JSON constructs in AB Connect responses that are inserted simply to adhere to JSON API requirements are not included in the property naming. E.g. if you want to address the `standard_type` of a `standard` object, the name is simply `standard_type` - not `data.attributes.standard_type`. Generally speaking, JSON API keywords can be left out of the names - things like attributes, relationships and data. Note that meta properties on relationships are the acception. We include the `meta` part of the property path to eliminate conflicts between object and relationship property names. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://developerdocs.instructure.com/services/ab-connect/introduction/addressing-object-properties.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
