How to add custom data to Discussion API

I read this https://docs.vanillaforums.com/help/apiv2/swagger/#/Discussions/get_discussions
I want add more data to API result, such as 'body_excerpt'. How to inject custom data into API result?

Man, thanks for that question - it made me learn something new! But the answer to your question is quite conventional: you need a custom plugin for that.
It doesn't have to be complicated, though. It only needs to have one one method:

    public function discussionsApiController_getOutput_handler($result) {
        $result['body_excerpt'] = Gdn_Format::excerpt(
            $result['body'],
            $result['format']
        );
        return $result;
    }
