Understanding Pagination with NewsDataHub API
- NewsDataHub API is a service that provides news data through a RESTful API interface.
- The API implements cursor-based pagination to efficiently handle large datasets, allowing developers to retrieve news articles in manageable batches.
- Each response includes a set of articles where each article object contains details like title, description, publication date, source, content, keywords, topics, and sentiment analysis.
- APIs use pagination to split data into separate pages or batches allowing clients to retrieve one page at a time.
- When making an initial request to the /news endpoint and receive the first batch of results, the shape of the response includes the next_cursor property in the JSON response.
- The next_cursor points to the start of the next page of results.
- The API provides comprehensive documentation for advanced features like search parameters and filtering options.
- Python code example for pagination through NewsDataHub API results was given.
- Despite implementing cursor-based pagination, some APIs use index-based pagination which has several drawbacks.
