The REST API only returns 500 results per request. Because of this feature, with certain resources, you can use the start-index parameter and previous-page and next-page elements to work with large amounts of data.
For example, the following request is submitted to the API:
The response looks like this:
Note the presence of the previous-page and next-page URIs, which allow moving within the pages of results.
Use the start-index parameter to view results from a specified point in a list. The first record in a list is index 0, and you can use values that are positive, whole numbers. If the value specified is greater than the number of results available from a resource, the system returns an empty list.
By default, the REST API only returns 500 results per request. To change the default number, contact the Illumina Support Team.
