User's history and pagination with Deezer APIs

Question

if I try to get the streaming history of a user, e.g.

http://api.deezer.com/2.0/user/.../history?access_token=...

I get the first result page but I don't see any method/parameter (like next, page, ...) to see the rest of the results.

How can I get the following result pages?

Thanks.

Answer 1

There are two parameters available to control the paging of data:

• limit: the number of individual track objects that are returned in the request.
• index: the individual track objects at the specified index that is the first result of the request to be returned.

Please, compare these two requests to get a better understanding of the paging system:

• http://api.deezer.com/user/YOUR_USER_ID/history?access_token=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN&index=0&limit=10 will return the 10 latest tracks you listened to.
• http://api.deezer.com/user/YOUR_USER_ID/history?access_token=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN&index=4&limit=5 will return the 5 tracks before the 5 latest tracks you listened to.

For your information, you cannot return more than 50 individual objects per page.
