# Pagination

To return a defined number of objects for any Dataloy resource it has to be specified in the URL the page number, **pageNumber** parameter, and the number of objects that the page has to contain, **limit** parameter. For example:

[\
/ws/rest/Document?pageNumber=1\&limit=10\&filter=documentAmount(GT)100000](http://localhost:8080/ws/rest/Document?\&pageNumber=1\&limit=10\&filter=documentAmount\(GT\)100000)

it will return the first page containing at max 10 Document objects having the property documentAmount greater than 100000. In the response will be added an header parameter called **totalObjectsNumber** that indicates the total number of objects of the endpoint.

From **API 5.18** is possible to avoid to get **totalObjectsNumber**  sending the HTTP header parameter **noCount = YES,** this will allow a bit better performance.

Another example:

[/ws/rest/Vessel?filter=flag.countryCode(EQ)HK\&pageNumber=4\&limit=10](http://localhost:8080/ws/rest/Vessel?filter=flag.countryCode\(EQ\)HK\&pageNumber=4\&limit=10)

<br>

it will return the fourth page containing at max 10 Vessels objects having the countryCode property equals to EQ.
