Example: REST API pagination

Hey everyone,

We’ve received some questions about how to query data from Shotgun via the REST API when there’s more data being requested than fits into a single “page” returned by the API for a single request.

I’ve written up a short example script in Python in this gist that will hopefully act as a starting point for those of you needing to query large amounts of data from Shotgun.

I hope this helps, and please let us know if there’s anything that’s unclear in the example. I’ll be happy to provide additional information or guidance if anyone needs it!

We’ve also had a few questions come up about doing the same as above, but for POST calls instead of GET. We’ve adapted the above GET example to work for POST calls – see the below!
