The 'endingBefore' parameter is used to go to the previous page
Meraki uses the Link header with 'prev' and 'next' URLs for pagination. Additionally, the startingAfter and endingBefore query parameters allow manual pagination.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Pagination is handled automatically by the client library; no action required
Why it's wrong here
Not all clients handle pagination automatically; developers must implement it.
- ✗
The 'page' query parameter is used to specify page number
Why it's wrong here
Meraki does not use a page number; it uses cursor-based pagination.
- ✓
The 'endingBefore' parameter is used to go to the previous page
Why this is correct
endingBefore retrieves items before a given ID, effectively moving backward.
- ✓
The 'startingAfter' parameter can be used to fetch the next page of results
Why this is correct
startingAfter is used to get items after a given ID.
- ✗
The Link header contains a 'last' URL for the final page
Why it's wrong here
The Link header typically includes 'next' and 'prev', not 'last'.
