Limit response of Describe Global REST endpoint

Hi!

I have questions about the Describe Global REST endpoint (https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_rest.meta/api_rest/resources_describeGlobal.htm) to retrieve meta-data regarding all sObjects for a particular Salesforce organization:
  1. The response is pretty large, I am however just interested in a few fields per sObject (createable, retrievable, updateable). Is it possible to limit the response to selected fields? Using the "fields" query parameter which can be used when retrieving a specific sObject does not seem to work here.
  2. The response contains the field "maxBatchSize" with the default value 200. I am afraid that I miss some objects like this, however it seems like there is no way to increase this limit per request? The header "Sforce-Query-Options" seems not to work for this endpoint. There is also no link in the response header to potentially retrieve the next page of results.
Thanks a lot for your help!

REST API is one of several web interfaces that you can use to access your Salesforce data without using the Salesforce user interface. With API access, you can perform operations and integrate Salesforce into your applications as you like.

You can use REST API tools to create, manipulate, and search data in Salesforce by sending HTTP requests to endpoints in Salesforce. Depending on where you send requests, you access and operate on different pieces of information, called resources. Resources include records, query results, metadata, and more.
