Pagination

OSDM uses cursor based pagination and the _links concept of HATEOAS for pagination. Thus, for responses where pagination is relevant, pagination links will be added, following URL to next and previous pages are provided if pagination shall be supported.

{
  "id": "trip-1",
  "trips": [],
  "_links": [
    {
      "rel": "self",
      "href": "https://api.osdm.com/bookings/123124"
    },
    {
      "rel": "next",
      "href": "https://api.osdm.com/bookings/123124?page=next"
    },
    {
      "rel": "previous",
      "href": "https://api.osdm.com/bookings/123124?page=previous"
    }
    ...
  ]
}

The nature of the link is indicated by the rel attribute.

Where semantically valid, additional links to the firstand last pages can be provided, i.e., the/bookings resource.

Resources Supporting Pagination

With this version of the specification, the following resources should support pagination:

• GET /trip-collections/
• GET /exchange-offers/
• GET /bookings/
• GET /products/
• GET /coachLayouts/
• GET /places/
• GET /zones/

Note that while a page query parameter is provided for verbs supporting pagination, it is not mandatory to use it: One implementor might use the parameter to scroll with a fixed collectionId, while another could prefer consider scrolling the retrieval of previous and next collections, thus ignoring the parameter and linking to collections with a different id.
