Results Pagination

Why is pagination needed?

Results containing IDs are provided in batches of 1,000 IDs per page.

Sometimes, a request might yield more IDs than can be displayed on a single page. In such situations, you'll need to use pagination to obtain all the requested IDs from the POST request.

Response header information

Response headers contain information such as the total result count, page number, and the last ID on the page:

• x-next-page-after – displays the last ID on the page. This field contains last_updated and ID information. Here last_updated format differs between entities.

• x-total-pages – lists the total number of pages with ID results.

• x-total-results – shows the total number of IDs returned by your search.

An example of Multi-source Company API response headers:

x-next-page-after: "2025-03-03",3771705 
x-total-pages: 57 
x-total-results: 56940 

Sorting in pagination

Pagination using ID sorting works the same way as pagination without sorting.

Pagination using score sorting has a different ID format. The format difference is seen by the x-next-page-after parameter, where results show: the score, the last updated date, and the last ID on the page.

An example of Multi-source Company API response headers:

Sorting by score

x-next-page-after: 26.806067,"2025-02-25",6428995 
x-total-pages: 57 
x-total-results: 56940 

Using pagination in cURL requests

Add a parameter ?after={x-next-page-after} to the POST request to see the next results page. Example of Multi-source Company request:

curl -X 'POST' \
'https://api.coresignal.com/cdapi/v2/company_multi_source/search/es_dsl?after="2025-03-03",3771705' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'apikey: {API Key}' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "query": {}, //Insert your query
}'

Limiting search results per page

Query parameter ?items_per_page={int} allows you to specify the number of results retrieved per Search results page. The current limit is 1,000. Thus, this parameter lets you set a smaller limit value for the results page.
