How to paginate responses when requesting a list
Neon supports pagination when requesting a list of projects or operations. Pagination allows you request part of a list by specifying a limit in the request. Paginated endpoints include a cursor value in the response body. You can specify the cursor value in the next request to retrieve the next part of the list. Using this technique, you can continue to make requests to receive the whole list (or just the parts you require).
Paginated endpoints
Pagination parameters
Each paginated endpoint accepts the following request parameters:
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
limit | string | The number of items to return in the response. For projects, minimum, default, and maximum values are 1, 10, and 100, respectively. For operations the minimum and maximum values are 1 and 1000 (all operations are listed if no limit is defined). |
cursor | string | The cursor value from the previous request's response. Specify this value in the in the "next" request to get the next batch of items. |
Pagination example
To paginate responses, issue an initial request with a limit value. For brevity, the limit is set to 1 in the following list operations example.
curl 'https://console.neon.tech/api/v2/projects/autumn-disk-484331/operations?limit=1' \
-H 'Accept: application/json' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer $NEON_API_KEY'
Response:
{
"operations": [
{
"id": "97c7a650-e4ff-43d7-8c58-4c67f5050167",
"project_id": "autumn-disk-484331",
"branch_id": "br-wispy-dew-591433",
"endpoint_id": "ep-orange-art-714542",
"action": "check_availability",
"status": "finished",
"failures_count": 0,
"created_at": "2022-12-09T08:47:52Z",
"updated_at": "2022-12-09T08:47:56Z"
}
],
"pagination": {
"cursor": "2022-12-09T08:47:52.20417Z"
}
}
To list the next page of operations, add the cursor value returned in the response body of the initial or previous request and a limit value for the next page.
