REST Pagination Next Token Problem - Youtube API

caio_caminoski — Sat, 24 Jun 2017 14:04:51 GMT

Hi there,

I am trying to retrieve some data about youtube videos. The data is pretty basic. I am finding the list I need, however I am having a pagination problem. As I know very little about this topic, I figure I am probably doing sth very stupid.

Here is how I am setting my REST API:

The path for the pagination I found using the following view:

Any idea on how to set this pagination correctly?

Thank you in advance,

Caio

Try unchecking "is header field" next to pagination field names. That seems to do the trick.

Thank you for the response Henrik. I did try checking all, unchecking all, checking only one, but nothing seems to work.

What I had to do is create a loop calling an url that updates every time with the next page token. But honestly, if there is a native option to do it through the REST connector, I would rather use it.

Even though I could retrieve the data this way, I still have some issues with the data, which I believe is something with the API as I saw more people having the same problem in the internet. What is happening is that after retrieving around 600 rows, it starts bringing empty responses, even though there is still a lot of data to bring. It does not seem to be a cota problem as I have enough "requests available"and I am using a sleep function to avoid overloading them with requests.

Again, I don't know much about this topic, so any help is welcome.

Thank you again, Henrik.

I have a very similar issue here. Do you mind sharing a sample of your loop as it might be beneficial to me as well? 🙂
