Hi  
I'm trying to get data directly via API call. Is there any way to format result field. Like

currently:-

"fieldName": {  
"raw": "value"  
}

to:-

"fieldName":"value"

Hi @malik_aditya,

There is no feature of App Search that would let you do this, but you should be able to do this yourself after you receive the API response.
