Pagination

In this guide, we will look at how to work with paginated responses when querying the typeauth API. By default, all responses limit results to 100. However, you can go as high as 1000 by adding a limit parameter to your requests.

When an API response returns a list of objects, no matter the amount, pagination is supported. In paginated responses, objects are nested in a data attribute and have a has_more attribute that indicates whether you have reached the end of the last page. You can use the starting_after and endding_before query parameters to browse pages.

Example using cursors

In this example, we request the page that starts after the application with id 0000111122222. As a result, we get a list of three applications and can tell by the has_more attribute that we have reached the end of the resultset.

  • Name
    starting_after
    Type
    string
    Description

    The last ID on the page you're currently on when you want to fetch the next page.

  • Name
    ending_before
    Type
    string
    Description

    The first ID on the page you're currently on when you want to fetch the previous page.

  • Name
    limit
    Type
    integer
    Description

    Limit the number of items returned.

Manual pagination using cURL

curl -G https://api.typeauth.com/:accountID/application?limit=500 \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {token}" \
