Pagination

Endpoints that return a list of resources are paginated. Use the page query parameter to move through the results:

GET /v2/contacts?page=2

Paginated responses wrap the results in a data array, alongside links and meta objects that describe where you are in the result set:

{
  "data": [],
  "links": {
    "first": "https://app.messageport.com.au/api/v2/contacts?page=1",
    "last": "https://app.messageport.com.au/api/v2/contacts?page=8",
    "prev": null,
    "next": "https://app.messageport.com.au/api/v2/contacts?page=2"
  },
  "meta": {
    "current_page": 1,
    "from": 1,
    "last_page": 8,
    "path": "https://app.messageport.com.au/api/v2/contacts",
    "per_page": 50,
    "to": 50,
    "total": 400
  }
}

Rather than incrementing page yourself, follow links.next until it is null. This is the safest way to walk a full result set.

Page size

The contacts and groups endpoints accept a per_page query parameter between 10 and 200:

GET /v2/contacts?per_page=200

Other endpoints use a fixed page size and ignore per_page. Current defaults:

Don’t rely on these defaults staying fixed. Read meta.per_page from the response if your integration needs to know the page size it was served.

Unpaginated lists

Some list endpoints return the full set in a data array with no links or meta, including List templates, List sender IDs and List opt-out lists. Check for meta rather than assuming it is there.
