how to create a query that paginates?

Have you refreshed the query? I've used a filter which I might have forgotten to take out.

For learning purposes I'd suggest that you step through the queries: Pretty sure you find the filters (just delete them) and the answer to your URL question in there ;)

Yes, it was late yesterday, so I didn't check it. Please have a look at it again:

1) the "#" is actually a "1" in the URL, so I've added a "TechnicalIndex"-column to your table

2) Also the URL had to be adjusted for all categories with just 1 page, as they don't use a page number as a URL parameter

Hope this is what you need now?

Hi ImkeF,

I found the query Parameter Table_Rows just returned 2248 rows covering TechnicalIndex 1, A and B only. The total number is supposed to be 15,937 indeed. Could you please check it again to retrieve all the rows as a result? Sorry for bothering you so much. 

By the way, for those categories with just 1 page, it's still valid to include the page number  = 0 (like https://www.investopedia.com/terms/a/?page=0) as a URL parameter.

After removing the filter as you alerted, I also modified the Parameter Table_Rows query as shown below (starting from page = 0, and taking out if clause. Finally, I got 19,561 rows - excess 24 records of gap. I will check technicalIndex one after one to dig out what's the gap if possible. That's the learning purposes as you guided me. Thanks again for your great help. I've been expecting to have this "homework" to be done for quite a long time. 

let
    Source = #"Parameter Table",
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Pages", each {0..[Page]}),
    #"Expanded Pages" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Added Custom", "Pages"),
    #"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Expanded Pages", "Custom", each fnGetPages([TechnicalIndex], Text.From([Pages]))),
 // #"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Expanded Pages", "Custom", each if [Pages] = 1 then fnGetPages([TechnicalIndex], null) else fnGetPages([TechnicalIndex], Text.From([Pages]))),
    #"Removed Errors" = Table.RemoveRowsWithErrors(#"Added Custom1", {"Custom"}),
    #"Expanded Custom" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Removed Errors", "Custom", {"Column1", "Term", "Link", "Index"}, {"Column1", "Term", "Link", "Index.1"}),
    #"Inserted Text After Delimiter" = Table.AddColumn(#"Expanded Custom", "Text After Delimiter", each Text.AfterDelimiter([Term], "/", 2), type text),
    #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Inserted Text After Delimiter",{{"Term", "Term_1"}, {"Text After Delimiter", "Term"}})
in
    #"Renamed Columns"

Hi all,

I have been struggling to paginate JIRA's rest API where the max results can be obtained for only 1000 rows. The pagination technique in this page so far provides a custom code which is really easy in an ideal scenario for a given scenario but when there is no ideal scenario or use different source with custom code which was my scenario and I stumbled on a very easy and an intiutive manner in which it was explained using Invoke Function out of the box instead of creating custom codes. Please refer to this page for more information and this helped to resolve the issue.
