How API Pagination Prevents Data Overload
from The API Podcast with Fexingo: REST, GraphQL, and Modern Web APIs Hosted by Fexingo
In this episode of The API Podcast, Lucas and Luna dive into the world of API pagination—the unsung hero that keeps data flowing smoothly. They explore why Facebook's GraphQL API uses cursor-based pagination, how Stripe's list endpoints default to sensible limits, and why offset pagination can turn into a performance nightmare at scale. With real-world examples and practical tips, they explain the trade-offs between offset, cursor, and keyset pagination, and how to choose the right strategy for your API. If you've ever wondered why some APIs return a 'next' link instead of a page number, this episode is for you. Tune in to learn how to prevent data overload and keep your users happy. #APIPagination #CursorBasedPagination #OffsetPagination #KeysetPagination #GraphQL #RESTAPI #WebAPI #DataOverload #APIStrategy #Stripe #Facebook #DeveloperTools #APIDesign #TechPodcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Technology #SoftwareEngineering Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
