For just a single type, in this case organisation unit, you can go straight
to the resource instead:

<server>/api/organisationUnit/vzw0YutAWos.json

To control which fields you want to display, you can use the *fields*
parameter,
e.g:

<server>/api/organisationUnit/vzw0YutAWos.json?fields=id,name,contactPerson
