Rest API Pagination - Next Link Tagged in "Link" as rel="next"

[prisma_elmu]

Hello Qlik Community,

i try to get all the pages of an api request to "https://api.hrworks.de/v2/persons/master-data"

When doing so, the API endpoint will give back the following:

I cannot find the right type of pagination, to automatically get the next page Link. i already tried multiple things, but nothing seems to work.

Its very similar (but not the same) to this request "https://community.qlik.com/t5/Connectivity-Data-Prep/Qlik-Rest-Connector-Pagination-How-to-handle-mu... which seems to be abandoned.

Its also very similar to that Request "https://community.qlik.com/t5/Connectivity-Data-Prep/How-to-define-pagination-in-the-Qlik-rest-conne....

"link":< https://domain.freshdesk.com/api/v2/tickets?filter=all_tickets&page=2>;rel="next"

Is there any way to use the Qlik Sense pagination?

===

I did already build a custom Loop (Quick and dirty), which does work, by parsing the response (Link) and making the next request with the next url (by using WITH CONNECTION() ) - but i want to do it in a better / more efficient way by using qlik sense pagination.

I know, the code is not the best, i dont want to get a better code at this point.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @prisma_elmu 

In furture you might have more engagement on a topic like this in the app dev forum, but looking at your example, because of the formatting of the response I think you're already using the most appropriate method.

The native connector pagination requires a clean field or attribute from which to retrieve the next url or page number. You'd be using custom from the start, which means you went down the correct path with what you built!
