Hello All,
We are implmenting Ticketing API and since many customers have huge number of tickets, > 1000 in some cases. Call center client app needs all tickets to know the history.
Checking TMF630 I found below example.
REQUEST:
GET api/customerManagement/customer?offset=20&limit=10
Content-type: application/json
RESPONSE:
http 206 ---- (when partial resource is sent in response)
Content-Type: application/json
X-Total-Count :50
Link: < https:server:port/customerManagement/customer?offset=20&limit=10>; rel="self",
< https:server:port/ customerManagement / customer?offset=0&count=10>; rel="first", ---------------------------------> Is this a typo, or it is count and if yes, why? Should it be limit
< https:server:port/ customerManagement / customer?offset=30&limit=10>;rel="next",
<https:server:port/ customerManagement / customer?offset=10&limit=10>; rel="prev",
< https:server:port/ customerManagement / customer?offset=40&limit=10>; rel="last"
Question 1 - Why link to first page/first set of records, we have offset and
count parameter where as all other have offset and limit ? Highlighted above
Question 2:
How would the links would look like when,
Totoal record count =500, offset=50 and limit=100
GET ticket/?offset=50&limit=100
link <http://api /?offset50&limit=100> rel=self [ticket id=50 to ticketid=149]
<http://api /?offset0&count=100> rel=first [ticket id=0 to ticketid=99] -----------------------first , means 0-49 or 0-99 since limit is 100?
<http://api /?offset150&limit=100> rel=next [ticket id=150 to ticketid=249]---- Should I have multiple next link ?
<http://api /?offset0&limit=100> rel=prev [ticket id=0 to ticketid=99] ----------Here previous is with respect to self, which is coming same as first? is this correct.
<http://api /?offset400&limit=100> rel=last [ticket id=400 to ticketid=499] -----
Thanks in Advance.
