Availability per Subscription#
Availability of this API depends on your subscription. See our pricing page for more information and contact us is case of any questions or upgrade requests.The deskbird Public API employs pagination to efficiently handle large datasets. This mechanism allows for the retrieval of data in manageable chunks.Parameters#
Two primary parameters control pagination:limit: Specifies the maximum number of records to be returned in a single response. Example: setting limit to 10 will yield a maximum of 10 records per request.
offset: Determines the starting point within the overall dataset. This parameter is typically used to fetch subsequent pages of results after receiving the initial response. For example, if the first response contains 10 records (as defined by the limit), setting offset to 10 in the subsequent request will retrieve the next 10 records.
API Response#
The API response includes a total field, indicating the total number of records matching your query. This helps estimate the number of pages needed to retrieve all results based on the specified limit.Example
Consider fetching a list of all desks in your office, assuming a total of 100 desks. By setting limit to 20, you'll receive the first 20 desks in the initial response. The total field will inform you that there are 100 desks overall. To obtain the next 20 desks, send another request with the same limit but an offset of 20.By effectively utilizing limit, offset, and the total field, you can efficiently navigate through large datasets provided by the Deskbird Public API.
