title: How to make basic REST API calls using a browser
body: <p>I am trying to get started with REST API calls by seeing how to format the API calls using a browser.  Most examples I have found online use SDKs or just return all fields for a request.</p>
  
  <p>For example, I am trying to use <a href="https://developers.soundcloud.com/docs/api/reference" rel="noreferrer">the Soundcloud API</a> to view <a href="https://developers.soundcloud.com/docs/api/reference#tracks" rel="noreferrer">track information</a>.  </p>
  
  <p>To start, I've made a simple request in the browser as follows <code>http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/13158665.json?client_id=31a9f4a3314c219bd5c79393a8a569ec</code> which returns a bunch of info about the track in JSON format</p>
  
  <p>(e.g. <code>{"kind":"track","id":13158665,"created_at":"2011/04/06 15:37:43 ...}</code>)</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to only to get returned the "created_at" value using the browser?   I apologize if this question is basic, but I don't know what keywords to search online.  Links to basic guides would be nice, although I would prefer to stay out of using a specific SDK for the time being.</p>
