So I've done pagination with API connections in Power BI via the query editor before.
This is the first time I've created a custom connector due to OAuth2.0.
I'm not as much a visual studio person as Power BI. Do I handle the pagination part in the custom connector code in visual studio? Or can I handle the pagination in Power BI once I've created a connection?
I've been able to connect successfully using my custom connector to grab the first 200 results. Now, I'm just wondering where I go to implement the pagination.
Thanks!

This isn't an answer. I said I've done pagination with API's in Power Query before.
My question is if the pagination has to be done in the custom connector code in Visual Studio. Or is the pagination done on the Power BI side.
I was able to paginate successfully using my custom connector on the Power BI side, but I'm running into issues trying to refresh it via a personal gateway in the service.
This is leading me back to this question wondering if I need to instead do the pagination in the custom connector code?
