Pagination

To control the size of the response of a list request, items can be paginated.

A list request is a request that is meant to retrieve a large number of items such as all payments of a certain monetary account GET /v1/user/1/monetary-account/1/payment. You can choose the maximum amount of items to be included in the response by adding a count query parameter with the number of items you want per page to the URL.

Example: GET /v1/user/1/monetary-account/1/payment?count=25

When no count is given, the default count is set to 10. The maximum count you can set is 200.

With every listing, a Pagination object will be added to the response. It will contain the URLs you need to use to get the next or previous set of items. You can also use these URLs to navigate through the listed resources.

Here is what a Pagination object looks like:

Copy

{
    "Pagination": {
        "future_url": null,
        "newer_url": "/v1/user/1/monetary-account/1/payment?count=25&newer_id=249",
        "older_url": "/v1/user/1/monetary-account/1/payment?count=25&older_id=224"
    }
}

The newer_url value can be used to get the next page.

  • The newer_id is always the id of the last item in the current page.

  • If newer_url is null, there are no more items to be listed on the next page. The next page thus does not exist.

The older_url value can be used to get the previous page.

  • The older_id is always the id of the first item in the current page.

  • If older_url is null, there are no items on the previous page. The previous page thus does not exist.

The future_url can be used to refresh the list and check for new items that didn’t exist when the listing was requested. The future_url will be null if the newer_id is already the ID of the latest item.

Pagination Behavior Explained

When you request a paginated list of payments, the response includes a Pagination object with up to three navigation URLs:

Key
Purpose
Example URL

newer_url

Fetches the next (more recent) page of payments

null means you're already viewing the most recent payments

older_url

Fetches the previous (older) page of payments

/payment?count=3&older_id=118

future_url

Lets you refresh the list to check if new payments have been added

/payment?count=3&newer_id=120


Example

Suppose you call:

GET /v1/user/1/monetary-account/1/payment?count=3

You receive:

{
  "payments": [... 3 payment objects],
  "Pagination": {
    "future_url": "/v1/user/1/monetary-account/1/payment?count=3&newer_id=120",
    "newer_url": null,
    "older_url": "/v1/user/1/monetary-account/1/payment?count=3&older_id=118"
  }
}

What this tells you:

  • newer_url: null → You're already seeing the most recent payments.

  • older_url exists → There are older payments available. Follow this URL to go back in time.

  • future_url exists → You can use this to check later if new payments were added after ID 120.

If you later follow the future_url and no new payments exist, it will return:

"Pagination": {
  "future_url": null
}

This confirms your list is up to date.
