Question

You are writing a Python script that queries a controller's REST API to build an asset-management inventory of all network devices. The API documentation states that GET /api/v1/devices returns at most 50 records per response and includes a top-level JSON field "next" containing the URL of the following page (null when there are no more pages). Your first request returns 50 devices, but your inventory only ever contains those 50. Which change correctly retrieves the complete device list?

Accepted Answer

Loop while the response's "next" field is not null, issuing a GET to that URL each iteration and appending the returned records until "next" is null.

Answer

Add a query parameter ?limit=100000 to the first request so the server returns every device in a single response.

Answer

Re-issue the same GET /api/v1/devices request in a loop 10 times and concatenate all responses, deduplicating by device ID.

Answer

Send the request with HTTP header Accept: application/yang-data+json so the controller disables pagination and streams all records.
