04:49 PMYou’d use that along with the
per_page and page search parameters to determine the total number of pagesGustavo

04:50 PMThanks, will do that. It only works though if
per_page is always the same. One could want to have the first page have fewer items to load faster, and in that case it would involve a bit more math, so a has_more could be nice. But your suggestion will work for me.
