Get Viewpoint data by a Viewpoint's ID.
An empty object will be returned if the ID is not found.

Note that a complete set of Viewpoint data can be very large, particularly if it has a preview image, redlining, and/or measure items. You should therefore restrict the output to the data that you actually want returned by passing a list of keys.
You can either pass a whitelist (containing keys you want reported back, default) or blacklist (containing keys to block).

Parameters
vpIDViewpoint ID
filterKeysKeys to filter the returned object by. See below example for valid keys.
whitelistIf true (default), the previous parameter is interpreted as a whitelist. Set to false for a blacklist.

Example for only fetching Name and Description:

var vpData = desiteAPI.getViewpointData('950a65f2-3590-48ca-9e7b-0409063116ce', ['name', 'description']);
console.log(JSON.stringify(vpData, 0, 4));

Output:
