Pagination
In Hub88 Operator API, pagination functionality is provided with cursors. Cursor pagination is a method of paginating through large result sets using encoded cursors rather than page numbers. It is more efficient than traditional offset-based pagination, particularly for datasets that are frequently updated or high in volume.
For example, instead of requesting page 2 or 3, you retrieve the next set of results by passing a cursor token returned to you in the previous response. Parameters used for pagination are: limit, cursor, next_cursor and previous_cursor.
In short,
cursors are encoded strings. You should not decode or alter them.
for pagination requests need to include a
cursorandlimitparameters.if
next_cursoris missing from the response, it indicates that there are no more results.similarly, if
previous_cursoris absent, you are at the start of the dataset.
Request Format
The following fields are supported in the request body:
cursor
string (optional)
An encoded string that identifies the position of the last item in the previous page. If omitted, the first page of results is returned.
limit
integer (optional)
The number of results per page. Must be between 50 and 100. Defaults to 50 if lower, and to 100 if higher.
Example Request
{
"cursor": "eyJvZmZzZXQiOjEwMH0=",
"limit": 75
}Response Format
The response will include the following pagination metadata:
next_cursor
string
The cursor to retrieve the next page of results.
previous_cursor
string
The cursor to retrieve the previous page of results (if applicable).
limit
integer
The applied limit for the current request.
Use next_cursor or previous_cursor in subsequent requests to navigate through the dataset.
Example response structure
"pagination": {
"next_cursor": "eyJpZCI6OTAC0wNS0xMFQxMzozMDoyMVoifQ",
"previous_cursor": "ey09876bhdGVkX2F0IjoiMjAyNC0wNS0xMFQxMzozMDoyMVoifQ",
"limit": "50"
}Limit Rules
Minimum value:
50Maximum value:
100If
limitis less than 50, it will be automatically set to 50.If
limitis greater than 100, it will be capped at 100.
Sample Pagination Flow
Initial request (no cursor):
"pagination": { "limit": "50" }Next page request structure: Use the value of
next_cursorfrom the previous response:"pagination": { "cursor": "eyJvZmZzZXQiOjUwMH0=", "limit": 50 }Previous page request structure: Use the value of
previous_cursorfrom the previous response:"pagination": { "cursor": "eyJvZmZzZXQiOjB9", "limit": 50 }
Troubleshooting
No results returned? You may have paged beyond the last item. Try using
previous_cursorinstead.Invalid cursor? Ensure you are using the exact
next_cursororprevious_cursorreturned by the API. Do not modify it.Unexpected limit behaviour? Remember that limits outside the 50–100 range will be automatically adjusted.
