Why does Google Drive API returns incomplete response?

I'm using google-api-python-client to call the Google Drive API.

According to the API's spec, get should return a JSON with many fields. But my program only returns id, name, mimeType and kind as follows:

{
    "id": <omitted>,
    "name": "myfile.txt",
    "mimeType": "text/plain",
    "kind": "drive#file"
}

How do I get other metadata about a file using this API?

All right. I found the answer. The info on the spec page is incomplete. As pointed out in another page, the API calls accept a fields parameter which specify the fields to return.
