The Orb API implements cursor-based pagination on endpoints that list resources, such as the List Customers endpoint. This makes it easy to incrementally load resources in the Orb API without the transfer of excessive amounts of data in one round trip. At a high level, cursor-based pagination employs string tokens in the request and response to indicate reference points in the returned list.

​
Paginated API responses

List endpoints utilize a standardized format that contains the requested list in a data response object, as well as some metadata that’s useful for pagination in the pagination_metadata response object. Generically, the response format is: 
{
    "data": [
       ...
    ],
    "pagination_metadata": {
        "has_more": true,
        "next_cursor": "..."
    }
}
A few notes on this returned result:
  • has_more will be true if there are more results that were not returned by this endpoint due to the limit value set.
  • next_cursor is a string value that will be non-null if has_more is true. This value should be provided to the same endpoint in a subsequent call to fetch more results, maintaining the same sort order.
When has_more=True, pass the next_cursor response as the cursor query parameter to fetch the next page of results. By default, paginated resources are sorted from most recently created to least recently created, determined by the created_at field on each resource.

​
Limits

Orb implements a default page size of 20, with a maximum upper bound of 100 items per request. The number of items requested can be specified by passing in the limit query parameter to a paginated request.
