Qlik Rest Connector Pagination

I'm new to using API's and I don't understand pagination enough to get all the data from Planning Center People. I connect, and can get data but depending on the settings I choose for pagination, I get anywhere from 25 to 1632 of 6507 records. I don't understand what I should be doing. The API Explorer Planning Center provides for developers (I'm a wannabe developer) gives this server response:

"root":{ 4 items

       "links":{ 2 items

                "self": "https://api.planningcenteronline.com/people/v2/people"

                "next": "https://api.planningcenteronline.com/people/v2/people?offset=25"

}
 
"data":[   25 items
 
0:{...    .................... to 25.......
 
"included":[] 0 items
"meta":{ 8 items
      "total_count": 6507
      "count": 25
               "next":{...}1 item
               "can_order_by":[...] 20 items
               "can_query_by":[...] 29 items
               "can_include":[...] 15 items
               "can_filter":[...] 3 items
                "parent":{...} 2 items
}

}

 

I interpreted this to mean I should use Pagination one of these - I've tried both and cannot get all the 6507 records:

  • Offset:
    • 'Start' parameter name: offset
    • 'start' initial value: 0
    • 'count' parameter name: 'count'
    • ''count' initial value: 25
    • 'total records' path: root/meta/total_count
  • Next URL
    • 'next url' path: root/meta/next

I tried various "offset" settings but simply cannot get this to work. Any help anyone can provide would be most appreciated. - super indebted!!
