Developing Applications and Automating Workflows Using Cisco Platforms (DEVASC) — Question 23

An application calls a REST API and expects a result set of more than 550 records, but each time the call is made, only 25 are returned. Which feature limits the amount of data that is returned by the API?

Answer options

• A. pagination
• B. payload limit
• C. service timeouts
• D. rate limiting

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, pagination, which is a common technique used in APIs to limit the number of records returned in a single response, making it manageable for both the server and the client. Options B (payload limit), C (service timeouts), and D (rate limiting) do not specifically address the limitation on the number of records returned per request.
