Instagram max_id not working - instagram

We have been using below end point to fetch the Instagram feeds
https://www.instagram.com/saintgobaingroup/?__a=1&max_id=
Later, for further feeds we use to fill the max_id parameter with last entry's id. It was working fine but now Instagram end point seems to have change the response format.
We are able to update the piece of code to match the response. However the max_id parameter seems to be not working now.
We are getting same 12 records even when we have more than 400 records. We are properly updating the max_id parameter like we use to do earlier. But we are unable to get further records only 12 records being getting repeated.
Any idea on this?
Note : As of now we're not focusing on using the Instagram API. We would like to get it done with end point ?__a=1

The answer doesn't work with ?__a=1, but it does get you pagination here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/49266320/929540

LinkedIn Marketing API ignores pagination and return all elements

I am using the marketing API
I have an issue with the pagination, it seems like it ignores the start and count.
I am using the start and count query parameters and no matter what number I put in the count, I get a response with all the results
I followed this document for pagination:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/shared/api-guide/concepts/pagination
I use this endpoint:
https://api.linkedin.com/v2/adAnalyticsV2
my parameters include:
start=0&count=10&q=statistics&timeGranularity=MONTHLY ....
in the response, I received 821 elements without any pagination. instead of 10 per page.
if I use the logic in the docs the values for start and count will not affect the results or the query
what am I doing wrong?
I don't want to use it without pagination and find out later that I missed records.
Thanks,
Roiy
I have used pagination to retrieve the posts of the organization, and its working for me
my api call is
api_url = "https://api.linkedin.com/v2/shares?q=owners&owners=urn%3Ali%3Aorganization%3A123456&sharesPerOwner=1000&count=100&start=0"
one thing importantly i noticed is this does not requires restli2.0 version(dont pass this in header)

How can I paginate Pagerduty REST API results when requesting incident lists?

I'm building an application which pulls down incident listings for my org via Pagerduty's REST API.
The GET /incidents endpoint does respond with more, offset, and other keys that are indicative of pagination being supported, and it does make intuitive sense on this endpoint, but I haven't been able to actually paginate these results:
Passing offset or limit as a query param returns a 403
Passing these in various forms in request headers just gets ignored entirely
Is there a way to paginate these results at all?
it might help to include the code you're using to make the request, or a curl request from the command line. Including pagination parameters shouldn't lead to a 403, so I'm thinking something else might be missing.
You should be able to paginate the lists using GET parameters, e.g
https://api.pagerduty.com/incidents?limit=20&offset=100
limit has a maximum value of 100, and limit + offset together must be less than 10,000. That might be why you were getting an error?
See here for additional details on the pagination parameters
Yes, it's possible to paginate the results.
After invoking the API method for the first time, you need to check the more response field value. If true, then you can call the API method again with an updated offset.
offset is related to the total results, and not the total pages.
The 403 error code response you're getting is most likely related to the user permissions and not with paginating results.

Outlook REST API: How to page through $search results, when searching for messages

I have troubles paging through message search results with the rest API.
I have a request looking like this:
outlook.office.com/api/v2.0/me/messages/?$search="deni"
the request returns a proper result and also includes a 'next page' looking like this:
"#odata.nextLink": "https://outlook.office.com/api/v2.0/me/messages/?%24search=%22deni%22&%24top=10&%24skiptoken=aT01NjMzYWQ3OS02MmJjLTQ5ZDEtODg4ZC0zYTgwNDlhOTY3Nzkmcz0xMA%3d%3d"
I guess this link is URL encoded so I URL decode it to get this:
outlook.office.com/api/v2.0/me/messages/?$search="deni"&$top=10&$skiptoken=aT01NjMzYWQ3OS02MmJjLTQ5ZDEtODg4ZC0zYTgwNDlhOTY3Nzkmcz0xMA==
However, when i try to make request with the next link I'm getting 405 Method Not Allowed with the following error:
"The OData request is not supported."
I've tried it in the sandbox as well (oauthplay.azurewebsites.net) - same result. What could it be that I am doing wrong. What is the right way to page through the search results?
I know that there is a limit of 250 messages that could be searched, but this is not the case here. I have 10 and I am trying to read the next 10.
Of course I have tried paging with the $skip and $top parameters, but $kip is not supported together with $search.
I can't seem to find a definitive answer in the documentation on how to page through search results and is it possible at all.
Thanks to anyone willing to help.

YouTube API - Retrieve results specific page

I'm trying to get paginated results from Youtube Data API v3,
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlistItems?part=snippet&playlistId=UUCj956IF62FbT7Gouszaj9w&key={YOUR_API_KEY}
now, in the response there's the handy parameter nextPageToken that links to the next page of the results set
"nextPageToken": "CAUQAA"
Is there any way to jump to a specific page of the results, say the 6th?
Apologies, but no, there is not. This is intentional. You can only move forward one page of results at a time.

Instagram: Get photos from a tag after a specified photo

I'm working on an instagram scraper for something and I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to get all photos for a tag that have an id or timestamp later than the last one I have.
The instagram API docs are useless in that they don't have any real info on pagination (which I presume I'll have to abuse).
Does anyone have any ideas?
I've been slogging through the Instagram API for the last couple of days so here's my 2 cents worth:
As far as I can see it if you call the api with /tags/tag-name/media/recent it only return a list if items. If the amount exceeds about 25 you have to make another request with the pagination value returned in the previous request.
In order to gain some control I am initially iterating through all images and storing the results (just the URL not the actual image) to a database. Now I can manipulate however I want. When I feel like updating (I'm doing it manually now but could be a cron job or use the real-time api) I re-read all the images, compare to what I have in my DB and add possible new images. My app then reads out the url and info from my DB (which btw is a heck of a lot faster than going through the instagram api, which will only return about 25 images per request - regardless of any 'count' parameter value you put in the request url) and displays it.
I am developing this for a client who is afraid of people posting nsfw or whatever pics using their dedicated hashtag (for a contest) - with the above set up I can offer them an interface where they can check and mark images that are then displayed in the app.
One thing to watch out for is when a user deletes his picture; you will have to find a way to check for this. Currently (since I'm lazy) I load all images and use jquery to check for an error loading the image. If there is one I delete the image from the DB (via ajax).
I'm not sure the pagination is going to help you: as far as I can see the pagination response has no relation to the id's of the actual image objects on each page - so theoretically a pagination id that jumps to a certain page (i.e. date) might not work tomorrow if enough images have been deleted in the mean time.
to get all images instead of latest 20, just append &count=-1 to your api call - it's that simple.
In either case, there is a timestamp on each json object - or if you prefer, you can use max_tag_id
check out my post here: there any way to show more than 20 photos of the instagram API?
* Update April 2014: count=-1 is no longer available.
