Advanced API Usage: Pagination, Filtering, and Handling Large Datasets #

Welcome back to our programming tutorial series! Now that you’ve learned how to make basic API requests, we’ll explore more advanced topics: pagination, filtering, and handling large datasets. These skills are essential for working with APIs that return large amounts of data.

What Is Pagination? #

When APIs return large datasets, they often use pagination to break the results into smaller chunks. This prevents a single API call from returning too much data at once, making it easier for clients to handle and for servers to manage.
