Pagination

Rich Returns supports relative pagination using a sinceId parameter.

Relative pagination scales nicely even for very large datasets compared to page-based pagination where incremental page numbers scale poorly — the bigger the page number, the slower the query.

Each request will include a sinceId parameter with the id of the last record from the previous page. This does require the records to be sorted by id ascending, but this happens automatically when a sinceId parameter is present. To ensure the first page is sorted by id, you can include an order parameter with a value of ASC.

For example, if you’re requesting a list of returns from Rich Returns, the request for the first page might look like the following:

/returns?limit=3&order=ASC

Another option to access returns in a specific timeframe is to use createdAtMin and createdAtMax:

/returns?limit=3&order=ASC&createdAtMin=2020-02-01&createdAtMax=2020-02-03

This will come back with the following response:

{    "returns": [                {            "rma": "RMA-2342500250"            ...            ...        },        {            "rma": "RMA-4250250293"            ...            ...        },        {            "rma": "RMA-2452931529"            ...            ...        },            ]}

Taking the id of the last record, the request to get the next page would be:

/returns?limit=3&sinceId=RMA-2452931529
