# Pagination

Some methods can return big lists. In this case Sort Me API returns not all results, but only subset of them. Such API methods are marked as :card\_box: [Pagination applies](https://docs.sort-me.org/tricky/pagination).

### How it works

Despite of the name *Pagin*ation, Sort Me's pagination approach does not use pages abstraction layer. 

Instead of it, we have 2 pagination control parameters: `count` and `offset`.

**`offset`** query parameter allows you to get all items after item, which has given ID.

In other words, when you make a request for method with pagination, you will recieve only **first** *N* items (each method has its own *N* constant). \
If you want to receive **next** *N* items, you must provide query parameter `offset`, holding an id of the last item of previously received list.

**`count`** parameter is provided in every response to methods with pagination. It indicates total count of items you are able to get.
