How to use a value in a query as a looping query

I'm trying to use the data from an API of an application we use to manage construction projects.

 

The query only returns the first 100 rows and a link to the next page.

It keeps returning the next page until the last page, then the link stays the same.

Is there a way to use these links and put these all in one query so i can use all of the data?

The 'bookmark numbers' arent incemental.

 

Thanks in advance!

@lbendlin Thanks for your reply, i found these functions and pages when i've been working on it for the last 2 days.

I am very inexpirienced in these things , so i havent had any luck.

 

In the provided links there are these questions:

  1. How do you request the next page of data? --> Its in a column in the return of the 'first' query
  2. Does the paging mechanism involve calculating values, or do you extract the URL for the next page from the response? --> We extract the URL as a value (the complete URL)
  3. How do you know when to stop paging? --> When the 'currect' URL equals the 'next' URL
  4. Are there parameters related to paging (such as "page size") that you should be aware of? --> Don't think so, the query returns 100 values of data.

What is a next step for me? 
I am very much willing to try, right now i'm just a little bit lost!
