API via Leganto

[Kyle Denlinger]

We're rolling out ExLibris' Leganto reading list product on our campus, but their implementation of the Zotero API has me pretty frustrated. I don't know a lot about APIs so I'm hoping someone here can advise me on what specifically to request when I submit a ticket with them. Their initial response was "this is expected behavior." 

What's happening is this: after generating an API key and adding it to my Leganto account, Leganto identifies *everything* in my library as a source to select, including attachments and (I'm assuming) notes. This is, to say the least, not helpful.

Is there a way they can modify their API connection to ignore attachments and notes?

To start, they'd certainly want to use a /top request, which would
eliminate child items. Standalone notes and attachments would still
appear. It should be possible to filter those out via query parameter,
but it looks like that may not be working properly at the moment, so for
now they might need to do that (trivially) in code.
