API Pagination Question

cbunge — Tue, 07 Jun 2022 16:23:12 GMT

Pagination with our API. Is the expectation to parse the meta return for total vs current and determine the remaining page loop? Most have a header or a data value for nextlink. I guess I’ve always been lazy on ours with a -1 or something. Trying to figure out the cleanest way to paginate.

if you passed an offset greater than the total, it would loop forever
