In search API, we get 'HitHighlightedSummary' property. This property provides a summary of the current document.

Do we have an equivalent of, 'HitHighlightedSummary' in SharePoint REST API? I want to query a document library but, would also like to fetch a short summary. Plz help

    The HitHighlightedSummary is one property of crawled properties,but the SP.File class does not contain a property about summary.
    So I think there should be no way to get a file summary through REST API web namespace.
    SP.File properties for your reference:
