Hi Folks,

I am trying get items in app by using following function with offset parameter 501 and its giving error of limit.

• Can we get only 500 items through API?
• Is there way to increase this limit?
• If its limit cannot increase then how we can get more than 500 records in python?

podio.Application.get_items(222522222, limit="505", offset="501")

items = c.Application.get_items(222522222, limit="505", offset="501")

  limit is indeed max 500 so first run is 0==> 500 en then next run 501==> 1000 etc ...you get each run a return value of how many items you get in your JSON, once it is less than 500 you reached the end, so you need a "while" or "for" construction to fetch them all in different gets ...

  Hi Marc Decroos,

  Thanks for responding, I am using while loop for it already but for first run 0==> 500 it fetches JSON of 500 but when it tries to fetch 501==> 1000 it start giving error "Limit must not be larger than 500", What I am doing is I am getting on the basis of Limit and Offset, for first run of loop they set as Limit = 500 and Offset=0, for second run these are being set as Limit = 1000 and Offset=501 where I got this error.

  I've verified from API Sandbox on Podio's API Reference page online and getting same error. PFA Screenshot.

  like the error indicates, limit is always smaller than 500, so keep it at 500 or 100 per fetch ... offset indicates you are requesting 501-1000 or 501-600, then 601-700 , etc ....just increment "offset" , not "limit" , keep that value at the number of records to fetch (max 500 at a time)
