MarbleCMS API uses offset-based pagination for endpoints that return multiple items. Pagination metadata is included in every response to help you navigate through large datasets efficiently.

​
How Pagination Works

When you request a list of resources (like posts), the API automatically includes pagination information in the response. This allows you to:
  • Control how many items are returned per request
  • Navigate to specific pages
  • Understand the total size of the dataset
  • Build pagination UI components

​
Query Parameters

​
limit
integer
default:"10"
The maximum number of items to return per page.Range: 1-200 items per page
​
page
integer
default:"1"
The page number to retrieve. Pages start at 1.Minimum: 1

​
Pagination Response

Every paginated response includes a pagination object with the following fields:
​
pagination
object
Metadata about the current page and navigation options.

​
Request Examples

Get the first page with default limit (10 items):
cURL
curl -X GET 'https://api.marblecms.com/v1/YOUR_WORKSPACE_ID/posts'

    "message": "Page 2 does not exist.",

​
Paginated Endpoints

The following endpoints support pagination:

Posts

Get all published posts with pagination support.

Categories

Browse all content categories with pagination.

Authors

List all authors with their associated content.

Tags

Retrieve all content tags with pagination.

​
Best Practices

Optimize Performance: Use smaller page sizes (5-20 items) for better performance, especially on mobile devices.
Handle Empty Results: Always check if the posts array is empty and handle the empty state in your UI.
Navigation Logic: Use nextPage and previousPage values to build navigation controls. These fields will be null when navigation in that direction isn’t possible.

​
Error Handling

When you request a page that doesn’t exist, the API returns a structured error response:
{
  "error": "Invalid page number",
  "details": {
    "message": "Page 2 does not exist.",
    "totalPages": 1,
    "requestedPage": 2
  }
}
Always check for the error field in your response before processing pagination data.
  • Values below 1 will default to 1
  • Values above 200 will be capped at 200
  • Non-numeric values will default to 10
When there are no posts, totalPages will be 0 and totalItems will be 0. The posts array will be empty.
