Fetching transaction in several iterations

I need to fetch transactions of our users accounts (investment accounts, if it matters).

Now, my favorite method is "Approach 2", as mentioned in this official guide, as it requires using only one API method and generally, seems simpler to implement. But, I have a few questions on this approach:

  1. Can I use this approach? I'm asking since the API method page doesn't remind it but rather mentions only 'approach 1'.
  2. The numbering of transactions - when I request transactions shall I start from transaction number 0 or 1 ? The couple of pages linked above each uses different version :-)
  3. Lastly - the page that details the approaches talks about setFirstCall parameter, yet the method API page doesn't mention it. I just wanted to verify that I need not care of this parameter.

Thanks!

Solution

  • 1) Can I use this approach? I'm asking since the API method page doesn't remind it but rather mentions only 'approach 1'.

    Yes you can use approach 2 from this guide

    2) The numbering of transactions - when I request transactions shall I start from transaction number 0 or 1 ? The couple of pages linked above each uses different version :-)

    Please start from 1. We have updated the guide accordingly.

    3) Lastly - the page that details the approaches talks about setFirstCall parameter, yet the method API page doesn't mention it. I just wanted to verify that I need not care of this parameter.

    This parameter has to be passed to use approach 2.

    it should be passed as transactionSearchRequest.firstCall = false
