"validated": The most recent validated ledger (recommended for production use)
"closed": The most recent closed ledger

accountsboolean

If true, include a list of all accounts in the ledger. This can generate a very large response and should be used with caution.

fullboolean

If true, include the entire ledger contents including all transactions and state data. This generates an extremely large response and is rarely needed.

transactionsboolean

If true, include a list of transaction IDs in the ledger. If expand is also true, include full transaction details instead of just IDs.

expandboolean

If true, expand transactions and other ledger objects to include full JSON content instead of just hashes or IDs.

If true, include an owner_funds field in Offer objects (if present). This field indicates how much the offer creator can afford to pay.

binaryboolean

If true, return ledger data as hex strings instead of JSON. This can be more efficient for some applications.
