Pagination

Question

Hi, 
I'm calling the players endpoint and I'm serving the website as static using next.js, Is there anyway to know the total number of pages or to cancel pagination to get all players data using the search/players endpoint

thanks in return

Hi,

No, this is not a way to make the user use more API calls, but a way to combine data quantity and performance because this endpoint contains a lot of player data.

But it is not impossible that in the future this will change. You can add this request to our public roadmap: https://github.com/api-sports/public-roadmap/projects/1

There should be a way if they raise the results per page to more than 20, but I guess it's designed that way so you will need to spend more API calls.

is there anyway to save API calls because  right now I have to call for the first page then call for every page, is there anyway to avoid this

Hi,

Yes you have this information in the API response, it indicates the page you are on and also the number of pages available

"paging": {
"current": 1,
"total": 10
},
