# Search Filters Pagination: Base Employee API

## Overview

General information about the pagination is listed in [Results Pagination](https://docs.coresignal.com/api-introduction/requests/elasticsearch-dsl/results-pagination) topic.

Here you can find:

## Using pagination in cURL requests

{% hint style="info" %}
This tutorial requires prior knowledge of compiling and executing POST requests in Base Employee API.
{% endhint %}

Use parameter `x-next-page-after` to retrieve a second page of IDs.

1. Navigate to the **Headers** section and click it:

2. Find the following information:\
   – `x-next-page-after` \
   – `x-total-pages` \
   – `x-total-results`
3. Add parameter `?after={x-next-page-after}` to the POST request to see the next results page:

{% code title="Pagination example" %}

```json
curl -X 'POST' \
'https://api.coresignal.com/cdapi/v2/employee_base/search/filter?after="2024-05-20 15:35:28",40513386' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'apikey: {API Key}' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
  "updated_at_gte": "2022-05-26 12:41:10",
  "certification_title": "Data Processing",
  "experience_title": "python developer"
}'
```

{% endcode %}

4. Execute the request, and you will see the next page in the **Body** section:

```json
[
1000,
1001,
3000,
4004
]
```

## 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.

{% code title="Items per page" %}

```json
curl -X 'POST' \
'https://api.coresignal.com/cdapi/v2/employee_base/search/filter?items_per_page=250' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'apikey: {API Key}' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
  "updated_at_gte": "2022-05-26 12:41:10",
  "certification_title": "Data Processing",
  "experience_title": "python developer"
}'
```

{% endcode %}
