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, ...
