pagination to get AllContacts

Question

Hi I have successfully obtained the access token through my own implementation and has gotten back the contact JSON back from Live server but I notice that the data returned does not contain all of the contacts, it only has the first 100.  

Request was send as GET with the access token to:

http://apis.live.net/V4.1/cid-[CID]/Contacts/AllContacts?$type=portable

The JSON i got back has this bit of pagination-type info at the end 

{ ......... , "itemsPerPage":100,"startIndex":0,"totalResults":100}

So my question is that what param I need to specify on the request URL to paginate to the next 100 contacts?

 

Thanks!

Answer 1

Have you tried:

http://apis.live.net/V4.1/cid-[CID]/Contacts/AllContacts?$type=portable&$skip=100

Answer 2

But how do I know the "total" number of contacts in order to me to know if i have reached the end? The totalResults in the JSON is always 100 when I have more than a 100 contacts

Answer 3

Bump.

Answer 4

Hello,

 

Just put the get request statement in a loop like

while(true)

{

$response_array = json_decode(/* execute get request */ , true);

if($response_array['totalResults'] < 100 )

{

// this is the last page

break;

}

}
