Developing Applications and Automating Workflows Using Cisco Platforms (DEVASC) — Question 224

A developer is attempting to retrieve all the messages from a Cisco Webex space. The server responds by sending the first 1,000 messages. The developer must make additional requests to retrieve the rest of the messages. Which API constraint is described in this scenario?

Answer options

• A. payload limiting
• B. throttling
• C. pagination
• D. rate limiting

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, pagination, as it refers to the practice of dividing a large set of results into smaller chunks, requiring additional requests to access all data. A is incorrect because payload limiting restricts the amount of data returned in a single response. B refers to throttling, which controls the number of requests made over time, and D is about limiting the rate of requests, neither of which specifically address the need to request additional data in segments.
