Limit restricted to 99

[Thibaut Soufflet]

Hello,

I made a call to the Zotero API through :

https://api.zotero.org/groups/2105996/items?sort=title&limit=500

But even if I change the "limit" there is still only 99 results displaying.

How can I get more like 500 for example ?

Thank you very much!

Regards

The limit is 100 objects per request. You can use pagination to get
additional results.

Thank you for the quick answer.

You mean there is no way to get more than 99 anyway?

Should I use various sorting (named "sort" in the documentation) to get all the datas?

Kinda sad

Up

I still not found a way to get the 2009 items from the group (https://www.zotero.org/groups/2105996/anaee_france/library) with my API request.

I'm still limited to 99 results.

Please tell me how to get all of them.

Again, the maximum limit per request is 100.

For pagination, read the documentation I linked to.

[Thibaut Soufflet]

I already read the documentation and tried various request with the "SORT" parameter.

There is something that I do'nt understand.

It would be nice if you can give me an example of how to get pagination to work to get all the results needed.

Ok I found a solution with the start parameter.

I post the example for other people:

Get the first 100 results :

'https://api.zotero.org/groups/2105996/items?sort=title&direction=asc&limit=100&start=0'

Get the next 100 results :

'https://api.zotero.org/groups/2105996/items?sort=title&direction=asc&limit=100&start=99'

It's quite laborious if you have thousands of items to get but the only solution I found.

Thx

Read the Link Header section in the documentation I linked to. You shouldn't be generating these links yourself (and your example is wrong). This should all be automated by your code and shouldn't be laborious in any way. This is an entirely standard approach to requesting many results from an API.
