Hi,

I was wondering if there was a way to take the past events for an
artists for more than one page? I have tried a few different
variations but it seems as if I can only do one page at a time...

At the moment I have:

http://api.songkick.com/api/3.0/artists/(ArtistID)/gigography.xml?apikey=(MYAPIKIEY)&min_date=2009-01-01&max_date=2012-06-31&page=1&page=2&page=3&per_page(max1000)"
_
, ImportMap:=Nothing, Overwrite:=True, Destination:=ActiveCell

The code above seems to only take the page 3 into account but I was
wondering if it was possible to retrieve the data from all 3? Can
anyone help please?

Thanks!

Nichal

Typically response paging is implemented to avoid performance issues
with an API, so I'm pretty sure what you're trying to do isn't possible
- just page through the results by using multiple API calls for each page.

Thanks Mario I thought that would be the case but wanted to see if
anyone had any other ideas.

Thanks for your help,

Nichal
