API Pagination

Splitting large API result sets into pages retrieved by successive requests using offsets, page numbers, or cursors.

Definition

Clients follow next links (often in a Link header or response body) or pass parameters like offset/limit or startingAfter until no more results remain.

Example

Meraki returns a Link header with rel=next; the script loops until it disappears.

Exam tip

Failing to paginate silently returns incomplete data; check for next links.
