Increase in API page item count

[darrenHN3Z3]

Currently, various endpoints only allow data to be pulled by page. Pages contain only 25 records per page. Also, the documentation says that it is optional, but this is deceiving. What optional means in this case is that the default page is page one. If the user wants a different page, they need to specify.

This is limiting our ability to pull data in a reasonable time frame to improve our processes and run analysis. It is pushing us to avoid the API and rely on exports or downloaded reports making the manual process faster than the automated one. We would also prefer to use the API, because it is less likely to be updated in ways that could potentially disrupt processes. 

Recommendation:
Increase items on a page would be great, or removing the pagination and relying on more robust filters. This would help us to pull more data quicker to better do the analysis we need.

Hello @darrenHN3Z3, thank you for posting this idea. The page parameter is indicated as optional because the request is still successful even if this parameter is not sent, contrary to others such as the access token. However, I understand it is a parameter that needs to be carefully managed on your side. Can you share what endpoints you are using?

Regarding your suggestions, removing the pagination is not a feasible option, but I would like to know more about the "more robust filters". What are the ones you would like to have?

As it is not feasible to remove the page parameter, I will mark this idea as Archived.

Our recommendation is to retrieve the data for each incremental page, until Fusion Operations returns a page with no results - which means there are no more records.

Please create a new idea if you'd like to share more about the filters to make the data export easier. Thank you
