Can't get data using implementation 2. HELP

I am trying to import a large list  (8K items and growing) from sharepoint and if I wuse implementation 2 I get the following error and am not able to get the data.

 

DataSource.Error: Web.Contents failed to get contents from 'https://xxxxxxx.sharepoint.com/sites/xxxxReporting/_api/Web/Lists(guid'2b455965-851b-401e-a7a1-ce0fa...' (500): Internal Server Error
Details:
DataSourceKind=SharePoint
DataSourcePath=https://xxxxxxxxxx.sharepoint.com/sites/xxxxxReporting
Url=https://xxxxxxxxxx.sharepoint.com/sites/xxxxxxReporting/_api/Web/Lists(guid'2b455965-851b-401e-a7a1-...

 

If I use implementation 1 then it works 

 

Can anyone shed some light on this matter.

 

Does this have anything to do with the number of items in the list and if so is there any workaround .

Hi Ibendlin

Thanks for confirming that, I suspected that was the issue.   My question now is what are these special techniques?

Default limit is 5000 for sharepoint list items. Beyond that you need to use special techniques.
