The idea of using a mapper in front of the REST GET Snap is to be able to see the values the entity returns and which you shal use back in the REST GET snap for the fields of:

  1. Has next: This should be a boolean expression that will allow for the REST GET Snap to continue looping until expression is false

  2. Next url: This should also be an expression that evaluates into the next URL to use with the REST GET call.

Now, one must know that any API REST GET call one makes to a server for data with pagination, should return some type of metadata that will allow you to use in the REST GET Snap to use in your Has next and Next url. In some cases the Next url is also returned and so all one will need to use is the parameter name.
