The only documentation is an example in an appendix. I've used it with with Perl code shelling out to Curl, so I can go back to it if necessary. But that was really ugly code and I don't have time to write something prettier. I was really hoping this came up enough that an existing module supported it, or e.g. that LWP::UserAgent had the hooks in it to add support for it. Sort of like how XML::Twig has an option to iterate over large XML files. It seems like the easiest approach may be to see if I can tell that there was an error because of too much data, and if so, I can assume a restart is needed. Thanks for the help!

The only documentation is an example in an appendix. Where can one read that documentation? I was really hoping this came up enough that an existing module supported it, or e.g. that LWP::UserAgent had the hooks in it to add support for it. Sorry but you still haven't explained the problem, what are you talking about? "Paging" is just looping. https://metacpan.org/release/REST-Client/source/lib/REST/Client.pm is a thin wrapper around LWP, and LWP has plenty of hooks. Its like a delivery driver asking a car mechanic, does my car have paging? Can you add a paging module? Dear delivery driver, you are the pager :) You drive for pickup, you drive for delivery, repeat, ...	[reply]

Paging in this context refers to pulling in a subset of data, then the next subset (page) of data, etc. Here's some documentation (not hosted by the vendor or the company I work for): https://ipam.illinois.edu/wapidoc/additional/sample.html#executing-a-paging-request https://ipam.illinois.edu/wapidoc/#get Elda Taluta; Sarks Sark; Ark Arks My deviantART gallery	[reply]
