Not sure what you're using for your api framework, but you can definitely fetch only particular fields on your get requests with Django Rest Framework.

Also, you can definitely version nicely. You just have to document it well. If you're supporting different api version in you're bound to add more code, not sure what that argument is about, since I assume (could be wrong) you'd have to define a new schema and add new logic to handle the queries in the translating layer, correct?

Also, the author makes a bold title and then goes ahead and mellows it in the first few paragraphs. Stick to it or don't do it at all.
