Troubleshooting Plytix API Pagination with POST Body Parameters

Below is an example of how you can configure your HTTP Request node to paginate by updating a body parameter. Given that Plytix returns the page information in the body, you’ll need to ensure you’re updating the correct field in the body on each request.

Steps to Configure Pagination by Body Parameter

1. Set the HTTP Request Method to POST
   Since the API expects pagination information in the body, ensure your node is using the POST method.

2. Enable Pagination
   In the HTTP Request node, click on Add Option and then select Pagination.

3. Configure the Pagination Mode
   Set Pagination Mode to Update a Parameter in Each Request.

4. Choose the Parameter Type
   Since the page is located within the body, select Body as the parameter type.

5. Set the Parameter Name and Value
   Check the Plytix API docs to verify the name of the field used for pagination (for example, this might be page or similar).
   Then, toggle the Expression mode for the value and enter:

   JAVASCRIPTCopied
   {{ $pageCount + 1 }}

   This ensures that on the first request, the value will be 1 (since $pageCount starts at 0), on the second request it will be 2, and so forth.

Example Configuration Recap

• HTTP Method: POST
• Pagination Mode: Update a Parameter in Each Request
• Parameter Type: Body
• Name: (e.g.) page
• Value (Expression): {{ $pageCount + 1 }}

Troubleshooting Tips

• Verify API Behavior:
  Ensure that the Plytix API expects a page number in the body and that the field name in your request matches the documentation exactly.

• Check the Response:
  If the same data is returned on each page, it might be that the API isn’t recognizing the updated page number. You may want to inspect the response using an additional node (like Set or Function) to check if the pagination indicator (e.g. nextPage or similar) is provided.

• Test Manually:
  Try making successive API calls (for example, using curl or Postman) with different page numbers in the body to see if new data is returned. This can help confirm the correct field and value to use for pagination.
