Our APIs return paginated results. Our paging is based on a cursor-based pagination system, which means that the API returns a set of results and a cursor (nextToken) that you can use to retrieve the next set of results. You can use this cursor in 2 ways:

​
1. Pagination with API Query Parameters

To retrieve paginated data, you can use the nextToken string value returned by the previous request in your next request query parameter. If your first API request returns the following response: 
{
  "data": [...],
  "meta": {
    "nextToken": "wwNgQn6tWNR/IHhKGHv/sg9zcIAGsxOk0TfmM+DdmcWkBZrXYjVvcfSZIZSs4ppCr/g="
  }
}
The next request would look like this: 
GET https://api.botpress.cloud/v1/endpoint?nextToken=wwNgQn6tWNR/IHhKGHv/sg9zcIAGsxOk0TfmM+DdmcWkBZrXYjVvcfSZIZSs4ppCr/g=
This will return the next set of results. Repeat this process by passing the new nextToken until the response body no longer includes a nextToken value, indicating that there are no more results.

​
2. Pagination with the Botpress Client

​
Using .collect() to Fetch Results

You can also paginate results using the .collect() function provided by our client utilities. This is useful when you want to retrieve a specific number of items at once. 
const conversations = await client.list.conversations({}).collect({ limit: 1000 }); // Fetch 1000 conversations
The .collect() function will handle pagination for you automatically.

​
Using Async Generator with for await

If you need to handle pagination in a more granular way, you can use an async generator with the for await syntax. This allows you to iterate over each page one by one. 
for await (const message of client.list.messages({ type: 'text' })) {
  console.log(message.payload.text);
}
