Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The API uses page-based pagination with page and perPage parameters.

The API uses Link header pagination and the next page can be retrieved by following the URL in the Link header.
Why this is correct
The Link header with rel="next" provides the URL for the next page.

Why it's wrong here
