When you call a GET API call for users / groups / and other such objects, the response is usually Paginated, in case these are a lot of objects returned. What do you do in order to retrieve all objects?
Solution: You have to call a different API request for the next page, which will then provide another API call in the response headers of it - for the following page (in case there are still objects to be returned), till there are no more objects to be returned

You just keep calling the next page until it's done.

Yes, I definitely recall that we need to check for a "next" link in the response to know if we should continue fetching more data.

I feel like I might confuse the pagination logic with how to handle errors in API calls. I hope I remember the correct flow during the exam.

I think we practiced a similar question in class where we had to loop through pages until we reached the end. It makes sense to keep calling the API until there are no more objects.

I remember studying pagination in APIs, but I'm not entirely sure how to handle the response headers for the next page.

This is a good question. The key is understanding how to work with the pagination in the API responses to retrieve all the objects. I'll make sure to review this concept before the exam.

Okay, I think I've got it. You just need to keep making API calls, following the pagination links in the response, until you've retrieved all the data. Seems like a common pattern for handling large datasets.

Ah, I see. The solution explains it clearly - you need to call a different API request for the next page, and keep doing that until there are no more pages. Sounds like a good strategy to retrieve all the objects.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused about how exactly to handle the pagination. Do I need to manually parse the response headers to find the next page URL? Or is there a more automated way to do this?

Pagination? More like 'pain-ination'! But seriously, this is a common pattern, and it's important to know how to handle it properly.

Wait, so we have to make multiple API calls just to get all the data? That sounds like a lot of work. Can't they just give us one giant response?

Finally, an answer that doesn't involve scrolling through endless pages of data! Pagination is the way to go, and this solution sounds straightforward.
