StackOne’s allows paginating on API requests that return multiple records using a page cursor. The following optional URL parameters are used for pagination:
​
page_size
string
default:"25"
The number of records per page.
​
next
string
The next parameter is used to iterate through data pages.
It is recommended to keep the same page_size throughout the sequence of pagination requests otherwise unexpected behaviour may occur.

​
Sample URL

https://api.stackone.com/unified/hris/employees?page_size=25&next=eyJyIjphAsHHere

​
Sample Response

In the response payload, you can find the next cursor. To get the next page of data send a new request with the next parameter set to this value. 
"next":"eyJyIjphAsHHere",
"data":[
   0: [...],
   1: [...],
   ...
   24: [...],
]
Once the cursor reaches the end of the data list, both values become NULL.

​
Page Size

By default, the page_size parameter is set to 25 results per page, you can over-ride this by passing in a custom page size with this parameter. If fewer records remain in the underlying connected provider than a given page_size, you will not receive a next cursor value on the next request. For example, if you have 17 records in total, all of them will be shown on one page with next parameter being empty. Then you specify the page_size = 10, you’ll get the nextvalue. If you use this next value, you will get a stripped array of the last 7 records.
Bypassed Records scenario

​
Early Cursor return

Occasionally we have to apply custom filters or structure requests to ensure we can get data which is not returned by the native API, this can cause timeout issues where we wouldn’t fill an entire page. In this case we will return a cursor value with the incomplete page, and you can continue paginating through the data to the end of the data set. When the final record is reached on the underlying provider we will return an empty next cursor. 
"next":"eyJyIjphAsHHere",
"data":[]
