200-901 Understanding and Using APIs Practice Question
A developer needs to retrieve a list of network devices from Cisco DNA Center with pagination. Which TWO URL components are typically used for offset/limit pagination?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the distinction between offset/limit pagination (using 'offset' and 'limit' query parameters) and page-based pagination (using 'page' and 'size' or 'per_page' parameters), leading candidates to mistakenly select 'page' as a correct option.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Query parameter 'limit'
In Cisco DNA Center's REST API, pagination is typically implemented using the 'offset' and 'limit' query parameters. 'offset' specifies the starting index for the results, and 'limit' specifies the maximum number of items to return per page. This is a common pattern in many RESTful APIs for offset/limit pagination.
