Get pagination results in Active Collab API

I have just discovered you can get pagination results through the api by passing in the page parameter like so:

$projects = $client->get('projects/147/time-records?page=3')->getJson();

Is there a way of knowing how many time records a project has so I know how many times I need to paginate?

Alternatively, how would I go about retrieving several pages worth of data - i'm struggling with the code!

Solution

  • I have created an issue on Github - will await a response.

    For now, I do the following:

    // Get all the projects

// Set the page number
$page = 1;

// Create an empty array
$project_records = array();

// Get the first page of results
$project_records_results = $client->get('projects?page=' . $page)->getJson();

// Merge the results with base array
$project_records = array_merge($project_records, $project_records_results);

// Get the next page of results, 
// if it returns something merge with the base array and continue
while ($project_records_results = $client->get('projects?page=' . ++$page)->getJson()) {
    $project_records = array_merge($project_records, $project_records_results);
}
