# Pagination

Sometimes there will be more results than the resource returns. The API enforces limitations to achieve high performance and encourages you to incorporate reasonable pagination.

This is achieved by using three props that are returned in tandem with the collection and setting the query parameters accordingly.

Name	Description
limit	The maximum number of items to include
offset	The offset on the collection
total	The total items in the collection

The maximum limit and offset are unique to each resource.

For example, for a collection with a total of 45 results, and each page containing 20 items the parameters for each page would be as follows:

Page	Parameter Values
1	`limit: 20`, `offset: 0`
2	`limit: 20`, `offset: 20`
3	`limit: 20`, `offset: 40`

Warning

Setting offset to anything higher than the collection's total items will result in an empty collection response.
