Offset not working (not returning more than 10 results)

Question

I want to get more than 10 results. I set the offset to 50 so I can get 50 results **but it still returns only 10.**
I am using angular.

The documentation also says "use the offset parameter to offset results in multiple API calls".

**How do I make multiple API calls?**

This is what my code looks like:

private httpHeaders: HttpHeaders = new HttpHeaders({
    'X-RapidAPI-Key': 'my-key',
    'X-RapidAPI-Host': 'recipe-by-api-ninjas.p.rapidapi.com'
  });
	
	public searchText: string = '';
	
	public getRecipes(): void {
    let httpParams: HttpParams = new HttpParams().set('query', this.searchText);
    httpParams.set('offset', 50);
		
    this.http
      .get(`https://recipe-by-api-ninjas.p.rapidapi.com/v1/recipe`, {
        headers: this.httpHeaders,
        params: httpParams
      })
      .subscribe(data => {
        console.log(data);
      });
}

Hi calorieninjas! 
Thank you for your response but I am still getting the same 10 results:
Here is my code when I make multiple api calls. I set the offset to 0 then to 10 but still get the same results:

let httpParams: HttpParams = new HttpParams().set('query', 'chicken');

httpParams.set('offset',  0); // ZERO HERE
    this.http.get(`https://recipe-by-api-ninjas.p.rapidapi.com/v1/recipe`, {
        headers: this.recipeHttpHeaders,
        params: httpParams
      }).subscribe(data => console.log(data));

httpParams.set('offset', 10); // TEN HERE
    this.http.get(`https://recipe-by-api-ninjas.p.rapidapi.com/v1/recipe`, {
        headers: this.recipeHttpHeaders,
        params: httpParams
      }).subscribe(data => console.log(data));

The offset parameter does not change the maximum number of results returned (which is 10), it just offsets them. For example, if a query has 50 total results, you can set offset to 0 for first 10 results, set the offset to 10 for results 10-20, and so on.

By ‘making multiple API calls’, just make multiple http.get requests with different offsets.
