Handling Pagination in tHttprequest GET method

Anonymous — Fri, 09 Jun 2017 10:51:10 GMT

I am using tHttpRequest GET method to get a json file from Kinvey. But there seems to be some restriction limit of 1k (or 10k) records that can only be processed using GET Method.
May I know what is the alternative way to extract the records without having this restriction. Also, I heard a concept about pagination; May I know how can this pagination be implemented in thttp request component in Talend.

The limitation will be with the Kinvey API. You need to check with them. The same for the pagination. You will need to figure how to provide the parameters to your GET Method request. Sometimes the API provider may have a bulk API too to get high volume of data.

If they offer a Rest API, then you can use tRestClient component which has all the operations for Rest.

There is no build-in pagination method in RESTful web services. Every service have to establish it individually.

Typically such methods like offset and limit as request query parameters are used to do this.

In all cases the client and the server have to set it up for the service implementation.
