Pagination
All index actions in this API are paginated. This way you can get the full dataset without having to download everything in one response.
Pagination is based on tokens, the token indicates to the server which resource you have received last so it can continue the dataset without any doubles. When resources are updated or created in between calls, the updated resource will be provided again in a later page.
The api also responds with a token for the last page of the dataset. You can use this token to check for any changes since the last call to the index action.
Example response
{ "geo_locations": [ { "id": "Abc123", "latitude": null, "longitude": null, "radius_accuracy": 1.234, "recorded_at": "2025-01-01T13:00:00.000+01:00", "asset": { "id": "Ref001", "url": "https://my.iobee.eu/api/assets/Ref001" } } ], "_next_page": { "token": "eyJzIjoxNzM1NzMyODAwLjAsImkiOm51bGx9", "empty": true, "remaining": 0, "url": "https://my.iobee.eu/docs/api/pagination?page_token=eyJzIjoxNzM1NzMyODAwLjAsImkiOm51bGx9" } }

The _next_page node
All index responses always include a _next_page
node. This node includes the following
items:
token |
The token for the next page. |
---|---|
empty |
true if the next page is empty, false otherwise |
url |
The url to fetch the next page. (This node is omitted when you specify ?omit_urls=t )
|
To continue listing results, you have to call the index action again with the token as url parameter.
?page_token=:token
When the empty
node is set to true
, the call to the index action with the
specified token will yield no results if nothing has changed since the last call. If any resources are updated or
created they will be included in the page with the last token
you have received. This means you can
persist this token to check for any changes since your last call to the index action.
Other options
Updated since
?updated_since=2016-01-01T12:00Z
To restrict the dataset to only include only resources updated since a specific timestamp you can use the following URL parameter:
The timestamp must be formatted according to ISO8601 standards.
Active only
?active_only=t
When specified, the API will omit the archived and deleted resources. This is useful when doing an initial sync for
example. The following values are recognized as a truthy value: t
, true
,
y
, yes
, 1
