API pagination for Panorama address object

[D.Verma502651]

Hi All,

I am trying to confirm what is max number of entries can API query return for address object .
Like we have around 50k address , will API query will fetch all data in single page or it will fetch specific number of entries  ? or we need to use some sort of pagination if we have some limit per page and what parameter i can use.

Thanks

The API won’t return all 50,000 address objects at once. Panorama limits the number of results per response for performance reasons. You’ll need to use pagination. The API accepts parameters like n (number of entries to return) and skip (offset).

For example: https://<panorama>/api/?type=config&action=get&xpath=<path>&n=500&skip=1000

That way, you can retrieve the data in smaller batches. The total count is usually included in the XML or JSON response so you know how many pages to request.
