How API Pagination Limits Cause Silent Data Loss

What this episode covers

Episode 36 of The Developer Tools Podcast with Fexingo dives into a common but overlooked API design flaw: how default pagination limits silently truncate data without errors. Lucas and Luna walk through a real scenario where a financial data aggregator missed 23% of transactions because of a 100-record-per-page cap. They explain why developers should use cursors over offsets, how request coalescing can mask the issue, and why audit logs should verify completeness. The hosts also share practical tips: set generous defaults, expose metadata like total_count, and add server-side warnings for truncated responses. If you build or consume APIs, this episode reveals a bug that most integration tests won't catch. #API #Pagination #DataLoss #CursorBased #OffsetPagination #DeveloperExperience #SilentFailure #BusinessAndTechnology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #DeveloperTools #APIDesign #IntegrationTesting #FinancialData #AuditLogs #LucasAndLuna #TechPodcast #APIErrors Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
