Most API endpoints with lists of records will include
the following standardized pagination system.
Request Parameters
per_page integer |
The number of records per page. Defaults to |
page integer |
The current page number (see below). Defaults to
|
page_token string |
The page token to retrieve.
|
Response
The response will also contain the following extra keys:
per_page integer |
The number of records per page |
num_records integer |
The total number of records that match the query |
num_pages integer |
The total number of pages that match the query |
page integer |
The current page number |
page_token string |
The page token supplied for this page. |
next_page_token string |
The next page token to retrieve. |
Usage
There are two ways to page through the data:
-
Sequentially increment
page
to specify additional page numbers until you
have retrieved every page of the results. When records are added or removed
the page boundaries may shift, and it’s possible that some records will be missed
between pages or returned on two adjacent pages. -
Provide in
page_token
thenext_page_token
value returned by the most recent
call to this API which got the previous page. This guarantees that the next returned page
will start immediately after the previous page, with all pages being contiguous and
non-overlapping. When anext_page_token
of null is returned, that indicates that this
is the last page.
If you are presenting a list of pages to the user, you probably want to use
page
. If you want to retrieve all of the data, page_token
is likely what you want.
(When retrieving all data, the page_token
method allows SendSage to more efficiently
provide the data.)
Both page
and page_token
may not be specified in the same request.
