Rest GET - Next URL with page=# syntax with no metadata

Hello,

I’m calling a REST API which requires me to increment a ‘page’ value in order to get all the results. The issue is the API doesn’t return any metadata. For example:

1st call is: https:domain.com/object/page/1

Results:
{
entity:[
{…},{…},…
]
}

Has next: typeof $entity == ‘array’ && $entity.length > 0
Next URL: https:domain.com/object/page/2

The problem is how to I compute the 2 (then 3,4,5… etc) Is it possible to increment a value by 1 on every subsequent call? Or is it possible to access a variable that counts how many times the call has been made?

Thanks!

For Next URL I believe you can use the expression:

'https:domain.com/object/page/' + (snap.out.totalCount + 1).toString() to have second request add 2, then 3, 4, 5, and so on.
