Pagination

Responses can be pagination, including the 
limit
 and 
offset
 fields in your request.
Parameter
Description
limit
Controls the maximum number of items that can be returned for a single request. The default is 20; the maximum is 100.
If you set a limit greater than 100, the following error results:
Http Status: 400 Bad Request Body { "errors": [ { "type": "invalidParameters", "message": "Invalid parameter values", "details": [ { "name": "limit" } ] } ] }
offset
Controls the starting point within the collection of results. Defaults to 
0
.
Setting a zero offset retrieves the first item in the collection.
For example, if you have a collection of 15 items to be retrieved from a resource, and you specify 
limit=5
 , you can retrieve the entire set of results in three successive requests by varying the offset value: 
offset=0
offset=5
, and 
offset=10
.
An offset greater than the number of results does not return an embedded object.

For merchants in India, the Production endpoint is

  • If you are on the first collection, the previous link would not be included.
  • If you are on the last collection, the next link would not be included.
  • All other links are always included. For example, if there was only one collection of results, the URL for 
    self
    first
    , and 
    last
     links would be the same.

Pagination Example 2 - Offset to Limit Relationship
This example shows a request for objects 3 to 6, from a total of 8 objects.
The example below shows the second collection of results and highlights that the previous page link will not change the user’s original limit parameter value.
This means that the previous collection will contain objects 0-3, and therefore collection 1 and collection 2 will both contain object 3.
