Pagination Strategies

The API supports two main pagination strategies to efficiently handle large datasets. Below is a description of each approach:

Token-Based Pagination (Recommended)

• Uses the $skipToken parameter to navigate through pages.
• This method is faster and more efficient compared to limit-based pagination.
• The pagination token is retrieved from the @nextLink field included in the API response

  http://api2.saleslayer.com/rest/Catalog/Products?$select=[prod_ref,cat_ref,prod_description]&$skipToken=[1]

Limit-Based Pagination

• Uses the $top parameter to specify the maximum number of items to retrieve per page.
• You can also use the $skip parameter to manually skip a specific number of items.

  http://api2.saleslayer.com/rest/Catalog/Products?$select=[prod_ref,cat_ref,prod_description]&$skip=[1]&$top=[1]

Both strategies allow you to customize pagination behavior based on your implementation needs. For larger or frequently accessed datasets, Token-Based Pagination is recommended for optimal performance.
