Pagination code returns first page forever instead of properly paginating
Thanks ams1 -
I'm not able to share the API documentation directly, but here's a sample response object they provided:{ "responses": [ { "id": "5e22085d5379215be800002b", "survey_id": "6e22085d5379215be800002b", "created_at": "2020-09-24T00:20:10", "conversation_id": "7e22085d5379215be800002b", "answers": [ { "question": { "id": "5e22085d5379215be800002b", "value": "Choose one option", "type": "multichoice | multiselect | range | nps | singleline" }, "answer": { "value": "'yes' OR ['Red', 'Blue']" } } ], "snapshot_data": { "device": { "id": "55fbe2e775bf3c760b1000bc", "carrier": "Verizon", "custom_data": { "key": "CustomKey", "value": "CustomValue" }, "manufacturer": "Samsung", "model": "S22", "os_api_level": "3.5.9", "os_name": "Android", "os_version": "5.2.0" }, "person": { "id": "95fbe2e775bf3c760b1000bc", "custom_data": { "key": "CustomKey", "value": "CustomValue" }, "email": "[email protected]", "facebook_id": "1184928249824", "mparticle_id": "-29482958295729572", "name": "Jack Daniels" }, "app_release": { "cf_bundle_version": "78", "cf_bundle_short_version_string": "4.5.11", "sdk_version": "4.5.11", "sdk_platform": "iOS", "sdk_distribution": "source", "sdk_distribution_version": "4.5.11" } } } ], "ends_with": "6e22085d5379215be800002b", "page_size": 250, "has_more": true }And these are the sample params:
I've tried your sample code and I think I just need to make sure the result is the `"responses": [` portion and the `ends_with`, `page_size`, and `has_more` just used for cursor/paging.
Hi,
I won't go into many details, but one of the issues is that you should be using previous page ends_with as the next page starts_with -> I haven't seen you using ends_with anywhere in your code.
I'm not sure what is the relevant link for the API documentation (?) - I had a quick look at https://learn.apptentive.com/knowledge-base/apptentive-api-beta/#paging
BUT I could not see there starts_with - instead I saw starts_after.
Anyway, please give the below code a try - it's based on your code, I have NOT tested it:
(app_id as text, survey_id as text) =>
let
getNextPage = (lastPage) =>
let
getPage = (starts_with) =>
let
query =
if starts_with = null then
[page_size = "100", order = "asc"]
else
[page_size = "100", order = "asc", starts_with = starts_with],
result = Json.Document(
Web.Contents(
"https://data.apptentive.com/raw/v2/apps/",
[
Headers = [
Accept = "application/json",
#"x-api-key" = "MY-KEY-HERE"
],
RelativePath = (app_id) & "/surveys/" & (survey_id) & "/responses",
Query = query
]
)
)
in
result,
nextPage =
if lastPage = null then
getPage(null)
else if lastPage[has_more] = true then
getPage(lastPage[ends_with])
else
null
in
nextPage,
pages = List.Generate(
// initial
() => getNextPage(null),
// condition
(lastPage) => lastPage <> null,
//next
(lastPage) => getNextPage(lastPage)
)
in
pages
If the above code does NOT work, please reply AND also please give us the relevant link to the API documentation.

Exactly - you just need to extract "responses" from "pages" - you should be able to do that using the 4th parameter of List.Generate (the selector).
