Remove "_links" or remove curly brackets from "curies" in Wordpress Rest API v2 output

Question

I have tried to remove the "_links" object in the API Response with Unset and remove_links() functions but none of them seems to work, is there any other way to do it?

The "curies" part is making trouble because of the curly brackets on the URL {}, is there a way to hide this?

Thanks

Just use the _fields parameter to include only the fields you want.
