Using pagination in cURL requests

This tutorial requires prior knowledge of how to compile and execute POST requests in Multi-source Jobs API.

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

1. Navigate to the Headers section and click it:

1. Find the following information: – x-next-page-after – x-total-pages – x-total-results

2. Add parameter ?after={x-next-page-after} to the POST request to see the next results page:

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

[
1000,
1001,
3000,
4004
]

Pagination using sorting

Pagination using ID sorting has similar x-next-page-after format, but the last updated date is excluded.

Pagination usage example (cURL request in Postman)

1. Add parameter ?after={x-next-page-after} to the POST request: Refer to the example below for the exact parameter placement:

Pagination (sorted by id)

curl -X 'POST' \
'https://api.coresignal.com/cdapi/v2/job_multi_source/search/es_dsl?after=541168785' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'apikey: {API Key}' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "must": [
        {
          "match": {
            "title": "product manager"
          }
        },
        {
          "match": {
            "location": "Los Angeles"
          }
        },
        {
          "term": {
            "application_active": 1
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  },
   "sort": [
        "id"
    ]
}'

Send the request, and you will see the next page in the (Response) Body.

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

Pagination usage example (cURL request in Postman)

Add parameter ?after={x-next-page-after} to the POST request to see the next results page. Refer to the example below for the exact parameter placement:

Pagination (sorted by score)

curl -X 'POST' \
'https://api.coresignal.com/cdapi/v2/job_multi_source/search/es_dsl?after=11.881406,"2025-08-24 12:44:09",607' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'apikey: {API Key}' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "must": [
        {
          "match": {
            "title": "product manager"
          }
        },
        {
          "match": {
            "location": "Los Angeles"
          }
        },
        {
          "term": {
            "application_active": 1
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  },
   "sort": [
        "_score"
    ]
}'

Send the request, and you will see the next page in the (Response) Body.

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.

Items per page

curl -X 'POST' \
'https://api.coresignal.com/cdapi/v2/job_multi_source/search/es_dsl?items_per_page=20' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'apikey: {API Key}' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "must": [
        {
          "match": {
            "title": "product manager"
          }
        },
        {
          "match": {
            "location": "Los Angeles"
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}'
