A paginated list of notes associated with a contact.
Cursor-based pagination is a technique used in the Intercom API to navigate through large amounts of data. A "cursor" or pointer is used to keep track of the current position in the result set, allowing the API to return the data in small chunks or "pages" as needed.
{ "type": "list", "data": [ { … } ], "total_count": 1, "pages": { "type": "pages", "page": 1, "next": { … }, "per_page": 2, "total_pages": 13 } }
The majority of list resources in the API are paginated to allow clients to traverse data over multiple requests.
Their responses are likely to contain a pages object that hosts pagination links which a client can use to paginate through the data without having to construct a query. The link relations for the pages field are as follows.
A link to the next page of results. A response that does not contain a next link does not have further data to fetch.
