Abstract
The disclosed embodiments provide a system for processing a query of profile data. During operation, the system obtains a set of profile fields requested in a query of profile data and one or more profile view settings associated with the query. Next, the system determines, based on the set of profile fields and the profile view setting(s), one or more downstream calls to omit from a set of downstream calls available to generate a result of the query. The system then generates one or more additional downstream calls in the set of downstream calls to resolve a parameter used to generate a result of the query. Finally, the system uses the parameter to generate the result of the query without making the downstream call(s).
