Posted on by jlondono

Hello guys,

I am new to Business Central tool. Recently I started to work on it and I am checking all the information we can get from the REST API. I need to mention I am using a trial version. Now I have done a couple of request for one specific endpoint (Items) and I have more that 1000 items. All that information is coming in a single response which is quite worrying for me. According to the following link (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics-nav/api-reference/v1.0/dynamics-rate-limits), it says: If the returned dataset contains multiple pages, then pages must be fetched using the continuation tokens. My problem is I don't see that token in my response. Is that feature just available for a full version of Business Central? What is the reason for not getting that property?

I hope you can help me guys. I would appreciate some comments.

Thank you.

Check the response header whether any response with "x-ms-continuation" .

Alternatively you can also use $top and $skip ,

https://www.odata.org/getting-started/basic-tutorial/#topskip

let say for fist page will be $top=1000

2nd page will be $skip=1000, 3rd page willl be $skip = 2000, ...
