Trying to find virtual server type through python sdk

I am pulling virtual server info through the rest api and I need to find the type of the virtual server. In everything returned I don't see anything that looks like Standard or Performance (Fast L4) ...

Or you can add 

expandSubcollections=true
query string to the request to expand the 
profilesReference
link. For example, the following curl command will get you the names of profiles attached to the virtual 
vs
(you can do better with Python than sh, of course).

 curl -sku admin:admin https:///mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual/vs?\$select=profilesReference\&expandSubcollections=true \
  | python -m json.tool \
  | fgrep \"name\"
                "name": "fastL4",
                "name": "http",
