Retrieving Only 200 Articles

Definition:

Any request will create a response and any response over 200 items will return the first 200 notifications in addition to a link at the bottom of the response to retrieve the next batch of notifications

If there are more than 200 notifications in a short period, the ‘since’ in the URL may be the same for the second page. In this situation, other parameters are used to ensure the process continues properly

Automation:

IF you receive only 200 files

The client is continuously retrieving only 200 articles

THEN create a logic rule within your application or service to always use the exact link provided in links.href for subsequent requests to the Notifications endpoint. If you do this, you shall be able to retrieve all updates

The following information shows an example of what a link to retrieve the next batch of notifications looks like

{
    “href”: “http://api.ft.com/content/notifications/?page=MjAxNzA4MjQxNzE0NDQuNzc0IzAjMDg3NDMwYWQ%3D&since=2017-08-24T17%3A14%3A44.774Z”,
    “rel”: “next”
}
