Pagination

In this guide, we will look at how to work with paginated responses when querying the Notifly API. By default, all responses limit results to ten. However, you can go as high as 100 by adding a limit parameter to your requests. If you are using one of the official Notifly API client libraries, you don't need to worry about pagination, as it's all being taken care of behind the scenes.

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 conversation with id s4WycXedwhQrEFuM. As a result, we get a list of three conversations and can tell by the has_more attribute that we have reached the end of the resultset.

Manual pagination using cURL

curl -G https://api.notifly.chat/v1/conversations \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {token}" \
  -d starting_after="s4WycXedwhQrEFuM" \
  -d limit=10

Paginated response

{
  "has_more": false,
  "data": [
    {
      "id": "WAz8eIbvDR60rouK",
      // ...
    },
    {
      "id": "hSIhXBhNe8X1d8Et"
      // ...
    },
    {
      "id": "fbwYwpi9C2ybt6Yb"
