Efficiently Looping through API Pagination in TypeScript: A Comprehensive Guide

When working with APIs, managing large datasets can be challenging, especially when those datasets are paginated. If you're using TypeScript and need to retrieve records from an API that uses pagination with a limit of 1000 items per request, you're likely wondering how to efficiently loop through all available data.

In this guide, we'll break down a step-by-step solution to effectively handle API pagination using TypeScript.

Understanding the Problem

When retrieving data from an API, sometimes the results are split into pages (or chunks). For this case:

Limit is set to 1000 (the maximum number of records returned in one API call).

Start begins at 0 and increments in steps of 1000 for each subsequent request.

If you're fetching a large dataset, writing multiple API calls manually can be tedious and prone to errors. Our goal is to streamline this process and ensure we grab all the records automatically.

The Solution

We can utilize a recursive function that handles the API pagination elegantly while subscribing to the data stream it returns. Let's break down the effective approach step by step.

Step 1: Define the Recursive Function

We will create a function getLoanNumbers, which will make an API call and then check if there are more records to fetch.

Step 2: Service Method for API Call

Next, you'll need a service method that conducts the actual HTTP request to the API:

Step 3: Implementing Error Handling

The above code snippets include basic error handling. Specifically, we check for a 401 status and prompt the user to refresh if this occurs. You can further customize error handling to suit the needs of your application.

Conclusion

By using a recursive function in conjunction with a robust service method, retrieving paginated data from an API becomes a seamless task. This method not only helps reduce repetitive code but also allows for error handling and data management in a clear and efficient manner.

If you're facing challenges with API pagination using TypeScript, this solution will surely help you navigate through the process and extract all necessary records effectively!
