Is it possible to retrieve specific properties on associated objects via the API?  
Example: Use the Associations endpoint on the API to retrieve all deals associated with a specific contact, and return propertyA on each associated deal

Example response:  
{…  
“results”: [  
{  
“id”: “1234567890”,  
“type”: “contact\_to\_deal”,  
“propertyA”: “value”  
}  
]

…  
}

Hi, @jonathan-fsa 👋 You’ve touched on a limitation. You’ll need to make two calls to achieve your goal. One option is to use the batch Deal endpoint — [Read a batch of deals by internal ID](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/crm/deals).

`POST /crm/v3/objects/deals/batch/read`

In this case, there is not a unified or all-in-one endpoint for what you want to accomplish.

Have fun building! — Jaycee
