Not all related entities can be included in responses; the ones that can are listed in the "Optional properties" section for the corresponding entity or endpoint page.
Related entities are included the same as other , using the includes query param. For the related entity to be added to the response, its name has to be specified in the list of includes.

By including the Deploy object in the NFT Action response, all the required information can be received in just one API call instead of requesting the deploy data for each NFT action in the list:
