Developing Applications and Automating Workflows Using Cisco Platforms (DEVASC) — Question 39

Which mechanism is used to consume a RESTful API design when large amounts of data are returned?

Answer options

• A. data sets
• B. scrolling
• C. pagination
• D. blobs

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, pagination, which allows large datasets to be divided into smaller, manageable chunks, making it easier to handle and navigate through the data. Options A and D do not specifically address the challenge of managing large datasets in RESTful APIs, while B, scrolling, typically applies to front-end user interfaces rather than API consumption.
