Next page URL pagination method

Overview

This method is similar to the link header approach, except that the URL for the next page is included in the response body, rather than the header.

Next page URL options

OptionSummary

Next page field

Enter the location of the next page URL within the payload.

Example

Suppose we set the following options:

OptionValue

Next page field

links.next

...and we send a request to get the first page of data:

GET https://my.shop/api/customers?page=1

The response will include the first page of data, together with a URL that should be used to get the next page of results. For example:

{
  "data": [
    {"id": 1, "name": "Alice"},
    {"id": 2, "name": "Bob"},
    {"id": 3, "name": "Charlie"},
    {"id": 4, "name": "Lyn"},
    {"id": 5, "name": "John"},
    {"id": 6, "name": "Gordon"},
    {"id": 7, "name": "Izzy"},
    {"id": 8, "name": "Mike"},
    {"id": 9, "name": "Ralph"},
    {"id": 10, "name": "Rex"}
  ],
  "links": {
    "next": "https://my.shop/api/customers?page=2"
  }
}

Notice the links.next section at the end of this response, which includes our next page URL. So, our request for the next page of results would be:

https://my.shop/api/customers?page=2

When does pagination stop?

Pagination continues until the next page URL is no longer included in the payload.
